UNSPSC 85712752: Removal of drainage 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 drainage 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 0RPJ40Z

UNSPSC 85712752 Removal of drainage device from right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not procure orthopedic surgical services or device removal; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual procurement activity suggests the code is either misapplied in state and local systems or sees negligible relevant demand. None of the six recent opportunities represent work that orthopedic device suppliers, surgical centers, or device manufacturers would pursue under this Commodity code.

The recent opportunities originating from state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County, Harris County), and city agencies (Phoenix Retirement Office, Long Beach) reflect administrative and managed-care procurements rather than clinical device or procedure procurement. The Washington State Ferries medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) represent the closest fit to healthcare delivery, but neither involves orthopedic implants or surgical procedures. Without evidence of state and local demand for orthopedic surgical device removal services under this code, the code presents limited pursuit opportunity at present.
