UNSPSC 85712746: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right 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 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 0RPJ4KZ

UNSPSC 85712746, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it center on occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and examination coordination, surgical Center of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which represent removal of tissue substitutes from shoulder joints or procurement of that procedure as a deliverable. State and local governments are not buying this specific procedure through competitive bidding under this code; the mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual scope of work in the tagged solicitations suggests either tagging error at the source or a fundamental misapplication of the commodity classification to these opportunities.

The recent opportunities instead reflect state and local health care administration and workforce support services—independent medical evaluation for public safety retirement determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefit management for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational health surveillance for ferry system workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit administration (Collier County), and temporary clinical staffing pools (Santa Clara County Health System). These span three states (Arizona, California, Washington, Florida) across city, county, and state agencies with no single repeat buyer pattern. Given the absence of shoulder-procedure-specific procurement activity and the categorical mismatch evident in the source opportunities, this code appears inactive or misapplied in current state and local practice and does not represent a productive pursuit vector.
