UNSPSC 85712831: Fusion of right shoulder joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right shoulder joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RGJ4KZ

UNSPSC 85712831 Fusion of right shoulder joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure for shoulder joint fusion — does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The six most recent state-local solicitations tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgery benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services or goods relate to orthopedic surgical procedures or implant materials. The mismatch suggests either a tagging or classification error in the source data rather than active state and local purchasing of shoulder fusion procedures under this code.

State and local procurement systems do not typically issue RFPs or RFQs for individual surgical procedures at the Commodity code level; surgical services are most commonly embedded within health plan administration, employee benefit programs, or facility service contracts at higher taxonomic tiers. The absence of procedure-specific solicitations, the geographic scatter of the posted opportunities (Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida), and the categorical misalignment between the code definition and actual posted work indicate that this Commodity code does not represent an active state and local procurement opportunity. Business development professionals should confirm with issuing bodies whether shoulders-joint fusion procedures are actually being procured under this code, or whether the classification reflects a data-entry or system synchronization issue.
