UNSPSC 85712525: Fusion of left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left 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 0RGK3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712525 Fusion of left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag medical and health-benefit procurement activity, though the recent solicitations show minimal direct alignment with the code's nominal clinical procedure scope. The opportunities posted under this code span employee health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing qualification, and disability medical evaluation services—none of which directly involve orthopedic fusion procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement and pension offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice agencies, and municipal workforce agencies, indicating fragmented procurement across administrative health services rather than clinical procedure delivery.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with the most recent opportunities posted in August and September 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeking disability medical record summaries and physician examinations for approximately 75 annual applications at a five-year maximum of $750,000; the City of Long Beach RFP for a surgical benefits carve-out program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) offering Centers of Excellence networks for orthopedic, spine, and other specialty procedures to 3,800 covered employees and retirees; and the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations. The code's actual use appears misaligned with its procedure-specific name, suggesting either tagging drift or administrative classification of broader health-services procurement under a narrower clinical code.
