UNSPSC 85712644: Revision of internal fixation device in right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device 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 0RWJ44Z

UNSPSC 85712644 Revision of internal fixation device in right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, shows a substantial mismatch between the code's nominal surgical-procedure scope and what is actually being bought. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve orthopedic device implantation or revision procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), but the work solicited under this code designation does not reflect the UNSPSC commodity name. The code shows no actual procurement activity aligned with shoulder joint fixation-device revision services in the recent opportunities.

This code exhibits minimal decision-relevance for vendors pursuing orthopedic implant or surgical-device work. The recent opportunities are concentrated in medical administration, staffing, and benefits management rather than surgical procedures or medical devices. The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, but the activities—occupational health surveillance via WSDOT's Washington State Ferries (due October 9, 2026), independent medical evaluation services through the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (due October 16, 2026), and pharmacy benefit management through Collier County (due April 9, 2026)—do not align with the code's stated scope. Vendors with shoulder-joint revision device or orthopedic implant inventory should verify that state and local procurement offices are applying this code correctly, as the mismatch suggests either miscoding at issuance or a systemic classification problem that limits the code's utility for this commodity.
