UNSPSC 85712642: Revision of spacer in right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer 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 0RWJ48Z

UNSPSC 85712642, Revision of spacer in right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that designates a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect acquisition of that procedure itself. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, health benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve orthopedic joint revision surgery. The mismatch suggests the code is misapplied in current procurement tagging or reflects administrative classification that does not align with the work actually being purchased. State and local governments are not soliciting orthopedic surgical services under this code as recently posted.

The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span city retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation, county health systems, and municipal procurement offices—a broad mix of issuing bodies with no dominant repeat buyer. Geographic activity includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (state-level ferry system), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, covering disability medical record summary preparation and examination scheduling for 75 annual disability benefit applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, requiring board-certified occupational physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedic, surgical operating room, and others) due October 7, 2026. Given the absence of orthopedic surgical procedure acquisition in recent state and local posting activity, this code shows little relevant procurement opportunity at present.
