UNSPSC 85712641: Revision of synthetic 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 synthetic 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 0RWJ4JZ

UNSPSC 85712641 Revision of synthetic substitute in right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its clinical code name and the state and local procurement opportunities recently posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, surgical carve-out benefits programs, and emergency youth detention medical care—none of which directly concern shoulder joint revision surgery. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently across a range of health services and benefits administration work that shares no procedural commonality with the code's stated scope.

Activity comes from diverse issuing bodies including county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), city agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). The most substantive recent opportunities are the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance contract (RFP due October 9, 2026) covering physician-supervised examinations at 14 ferry terminals across Washington; the Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, with estimated $8.7 million annual pharmacy spending); and the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years). The Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026) seeks ancillary clinical roles including orthopedic services but does not target surgical procedures. Given the code mismatch, firms pursuing shoulder joint revision or other orthopedic surgery procurement should verify correct UNSPSC coding through issuing bodies before bid preparation; the code as currently tagged does not reflect genuine procedural-level medical device or surgical supply demand from state and local buyers.
