UNSPSC 85712533: Fusion of right shoulder joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right shoulder joint with autologous 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 0RGJ37Z

UNSPSC 85712533, Fusion of right shoulder joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the source shows no state or local procurement activity for this surgical service itself. Instead, recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader healthcare administration, medical surveillance, staffing, and benefits management work that bears no direct relationship to the procedure named in the code.

The mismatch is substantial and consistent across all six recent opportunities in the source. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach seeks Centers of Excellence carve-out management for surgical procedures including shoulder work but as part of a health benefits administration program; the Washington State Department of Transportation requests occupational medical surveillance across ferry operations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is gathering information on emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a staffing pool for ancillary clinical roles. None of these activities constitute procurement of fusion-of-shoulder-joint procedures themselves. The code exhibits little relevant recent state and local activity for the surgical service it nominally describes.
