UNSPSC 85712757: Release left shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0RNK4ZZ

UNSPSC 85712757 Release left shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit shoulder joint release procedures or any comparable surgical services. Instead, the code's recent activity spans occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). None of these solicitations request orthopedic surgical procedures or procedure-specific clinical work matching the code's name.

Activity across this code is geographically scattered with no concentration in any single state or region. Recent opportunities originate from Washington, Arizona, California (two jurisdictions), Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services including disability medical record summary preparation (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs for Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification request for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be a taxonomy-application mismatch rather than an active procurement category aligned with its stated definition; vendors should verify code relevance directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
