UNSPSC 85712526: Fusion of left shoulder joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left shoulder joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RGK3KZ

UNSPSC 85712526 "Fusion of left shoulder joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code procure medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detainees — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and counties with health consortia. The code appears to be a mis-tagging artifact rather than an active procurement category for state and local government.

Activity spans multiple states and regions: Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluations, proposals due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for specialty medical services due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County PBM Services RFP with historical spend of $8.7 million annually). No recent solicitations target the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. Business development professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC code alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under 85712526, as the current activity represents healthcare administration and staffing services rather than surgical procedures.
