UNSPSC 85712680: Reposition right shoulder joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right shoulder joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RSJ44Z

UNSPSC 85712680 Reposition right shoulder joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that carries a clinical procedure descriptor disconnected from the state and local procurement opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations show no actual purchasing activity for orthopedic implants, surgical devices, or shoulder joint procedures; instead, the code has been applied to administrative medical services, occupational health examinations, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary staffing for ancillary clinical roles. State and local governments do not appear to be buying the specific surgical procedure or implant device the code nominally describes through formal solicitations at this tier.

The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement activity is substantial enough to signal misclassification in the source data rather than a legitimate market signal. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) are representative of the kinds of medical services work being tagged under this code, but neither involves shoulder joint repositioning or internal fixation devices. A business development professional evaluating this code for pursuit of state and local opportunities in surgical implants, orthopedic hardware, or joint reconstruction procedures should treat it as inactive and look to orthopedic supply, implant distribution, or surgical equipment codes that more precisely align with the commodity being offered.
