UNSPSC 85712781: Insertion of spacer into left shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RHK48Z

UNSPSC 85712781 Insertion of spacer into 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 opportunities actually posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code do not procure shoulder joint spacer insertions or related surgical devices or services. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs through centers of excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical care for youth in custody. The mismatch suggests that either the code assignment reflects administrative or taxonomic error, or that state and local procurement offices are using this code to flag health-services procurements broadly rather than to denote a specific procedure line.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no repeat issuing bodies or discernible pattern of concentration. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office, a city health benefits department, a state transportation agency, county health systems, a county benefits consortium, and a county juvenile probation department. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at WSF locations statewide (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity but does not track a coherent procurement family aligned to its stated definition.
