UNSPSC 85712534: Fusion of right shoulder joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right shoulder joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RGJ34Z

UNSPSC 85712534, Fusion of right shoulder joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its surgical-procedure taxonomy label and state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under the code. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical services or implant procurement; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, and surgical-benefit carve-out program management for municipal employee health plans. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), suggesting the code may be misapplied to health services contracting more broadly rather than to the specific procedural intervention the commodity label names.

Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas across recent solicitations. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent the most recent state and local opportunities. The code shows no coherent pattern of procurement activity that maps to shoulder-joint fusion procedures or orthopedic surgical implants, and firms pursuing this code should verify that future opportunities are actually aligned with the commodity's nominal scope before investing in pursuit resources.
