UNSPSC 85712563: Destruction of left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 0R5K3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712563 Destruction of left shoulder joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears designed to classify a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these procurement activities involve performing or contracting for percutaneous shoulder joint destruction procedures; the mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or reflects administrative tagging that does not reflect actual buying intent.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), indicating broad geographic and jurisdictional spread across the West and South. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, seeking disability medical record summarization and coordination of physician examinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, requiring baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations conducted by board-certified occupational medicine physicians. These represent the most concrete recent procurement signals, though neither directly relates to the shoulder destruction procedure the code nominally describes.
