UNSPSC 85712640: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RWJ4KZ

UNSPSC 85712640, Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), describes orthopedic surgical procedures, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not match the surgical-procedure scope. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing. State and local buyers under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, and county human resources divisions. The work being solicited reflects administrative health services, occupational surveillance, benefits procurement, and staffing rather than orthopedic surgical intervention.

The most recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry-system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid on August 31), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit and center-of-excellence carve-out services for its Anthem PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing including audiology, radiology, surgical/operating-room, and therapy services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The geographic and issuing-body spread and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought suggest the code is either miscoded by the posting jurisdictions or serves as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not align with surgical procedures.
