UNSPSC 85712706: Repair right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0RQJ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85712706 Repair right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect a substantial mismatch with that narrow scope. The code shows limited activity directly tied to shoulder joint repair services; instead, recent solicitations tagged under this code encompass broader healthcare procurement including disability medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. State and local issuing bodies using this code span city retirement offices, municipal health benefit administrators, state transportation departments, county probation departments, county health systems, and county commissioners' offices—a diverse set of health-related procurement functions rather than a concentrated group. The scope of work nominally associated with the code does not align with what is actually being solicited, suggesting either a cataloging inconsistency or a broad interpretation of the code across multiple unrelated health services categories.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, which focuses on disability medical record summaries and examinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program due October 7, 2026, managing orthopedic, cardiac, spine, and other specialty procedures through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, covering medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations. Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington, with supplemental opportunities in Texas and Florida. The code shows no clear pattern of repeat solicitation for the named procedure itself and does not constitute a reliable forecast of shoulder joint repair contracting activity at the state and local level.
