UNSPSC 85712748 Removal of spacer from right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not align with the actual recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve removal of spacers from shoulder joints or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the work its name describes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal procedure-level scope and the diverse administrative and staffing services being procured under it suggests either misclassification at the source or a cataloging artifact. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris), county procurement agencies (Collier), state transportation departments (Washington), and municipal governments (Long Beach). Recent opportunities are distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with response dates clustered between September and October 2026. Practitioners should verify code alignment with the relevant procurement office before pursuing opportunities listed under this UNSPSC number.
