UNSPSC 85712739: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left 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 0RPK4KZ

UNSPSC 85712739 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities do not solicit this procedure directly. Instead, issuing bodies are procuring occupational medical surveillance services, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which map to the removal of a tissue substitute from a shoulder joint.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal workforce programs (City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, County of Santa Clara Health System), county government (Harris County, Collier County), and special-purpose health systems. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical carve-out benefit programs (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFP for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's specific orthopedic-procedure nomenclature and the general health services actually being procured suggests this category is either inactive for state and local buyers or has been mis-tagged in the available opportunities.
