UNSPSC 85712484: Insertion of spacer into right shoulder joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into right shoulder joint, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0RHJ38Z

UNSPSC 85712484 Insertion of spacer into right shoulder joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the medical services and benefits administration work state and local governments are actually purchasing under this classification. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code show no orthopedic device procurement or surgical procedure delivery. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve shoulder joint spacer insertion. The code appears to reflect a taxonomic mismatch between the source opportunities and the code's stated scope.

The recent activities do show demand from state and local purchasing offices, retirement systems, county human resources functions, health systems, and juvenile justice agencies for medical evaluation and staffing services across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with contracts ranging from two- to five-year terms and response windows concentrated in September and October 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's disability medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent recent, concrete purchasing activity. However, because these opportunities do not align with the code's orthopedic-device scope, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms seeking to pursue shoulder joint spacer insertion contracts at the state and local level.
