This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0RCJ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712540 Extirpation of matter from right shoulder joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not align with the six opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026. Those solicitations instead cover occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities fall within the orthopedic surgical procedure category the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either tagging error by the issuing bodies or that state and local procurement offices are using this code for medical or health services work broadly construed rather than for the specific surgical procedure named.

The recent opportunities posted under the code originate from diverse issuing bodies: a city retirement office (Phoenix), a county health system (Santa Clara), a state department of transportation (Washington), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), a city employee benefits office (Long Beach), and a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No single issuing body appears more than once, and the work scopes are functionally unrelated to one another and to the code's stated scope, making this code an unreliable signal for procurement planning in the orthopedic surgery space or in occupational health services.
