UNSPSC 85712564: Destruction of right shoulder joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0R5J3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712564 Destruction of right shoulder joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no meaningful relationship to the opportunities the source records. Recent solicitations tagged with this code span occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out network services, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. These opportunities involve medical administration, benefit program management, and workforce staffing rather than any surgical procedure. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), with no orthopedic or surgical providers among them.

The recent opportunities show little connection to the code's stated purpose. The Washington State Ferries medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) solicits occupational health examinations across 14 Washington locations; the Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical record review and disability evaluation coordination for public safety pensions; the Long Beach City RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) requests Centers of Excellence network management for surgical and orthopedic procedures on a voluntary carve-out basis, which involves benefit administration rather than surgery delivery; Santa Clara County's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishes a temporary health professional staffing pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories; and Harris County Juvenile Probation issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). This code shows significant tagging misalignment—the UNSPSC classification does not match procurement intent, and vendors pursuing orthopedic surgical services should not rely on this code for market signals.
