UNSPSC 85712785: Insertion of internal fixation device into right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into 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 0RHJ44Z

UNSPSC 85712785 Insertion of internal fixation device into right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System)—do not involve insertion of internal fixation devices into shoulder joints or any orthopedic implant procurement. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification misapplied to administrative health services and staffing contracts rather than medical device procurement.

State and local buyers do not appear to use this code for device procurement. The recent activity under this UNSPSC reflects misalignment between the code's procedural clinical definition and actual government purchasing behavior. Entities procuring shoulder joint implants, surgical devices, or orthopedic hardware through state and local channels likely use different codes, or this code has not been triggered by recent solicitations in the public record. If pursuing orthopedic device sales to state and local health systems, school districts, or public safety agencies, verify the applicable UNSPSC code separately before responding to RFPs or building a pursuit strategy around this category.
