UNSPSC 85712530: Fusion of right shoulder joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 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 0RGJ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712530 Fusion of right shoulder joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six state and local contract opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged with or near this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension-board disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or fusion techniques. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification from a medical taxonomy that does not align with how state and local governments structure their procurement needs; these jurisdictions do not typically solicit specific surgical procedures by CPT or anatomical descriptor but instead contract for medical services delivery, provider networks, or staffing that may include such procedures as part of a broader scope.

The mismatch suggests that either the code was applied incorrectly during opportunity tagging or that state and local buyers use an entirely different classification system for medical service procurement. Business development professionals should verify whether this code is actively used in state and local procurement systems before investing resources in pursuing opportunities under it. If activity does exist, it would likely surface through health-plan RFPs, hospital services agreements, or workers' compensation medical networks rather than as standalone procedure solicitations.
