UNSPSC 85712750: Removal of internal fixation device from right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0RPJ44Z

UNSPSC 85712750 (Removal of internal fixation device from right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows negligible alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability retirement medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which map to orthopedic implant removal or surgical procedures on shoulder joints. This mismatch indicates the code has been misapplied to opportunities for which it does not represent the core procurement intent, rendering it an unreliable signal for business development.

No state and local solicitation in the recent-opportunities block actually solicits removal of internal fixation devices from shoulder joints or related orthopedic implant services. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicitation for occupational medical surveillance and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicitation for disability medical evaluations involve occupational health and benefits administration, not surgical procedure procurement. The City of Long Beach surgical carve-out and the County of Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing solicitations address network or staffing arrangements rather than a specific procedural code. Because the code exhibits no relevant recent activity tied to its nominal scope, firms evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for state and local procurement purposes.
