This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer 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 0RPK48Z

UNSPSC 85712741 Removal of spacer from left shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominates a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the source shows no state or local solicitations for that service. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve removal of spacers from shoulder joints. The mismatch suggests a tagging or classification error in the underlying procurement records rather than genuine market activity under the code's stated scope.

The geographic spread of opportunities includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no repeat buyers or concentrated activity pattern identifiable. No recent opportunities represent the actual clinical service that the code nominates. A firm evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for procurement purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification if pursuing any of the health services opportunities listed above.
