UNSPSC 85712833: Fusion of right shoulder joint with autologous 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 autologous 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 0RGJ47Z

UNSPSC 85712833, Fusion of right shoulder joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the state and local opportunities tagged to it concern occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefits, surgical carve-out networks, health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare—none of which involve orthopedic shoulder fusion surgery or tissue grafting. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systemic misalignment between the taxonomy and state and local contracting practice in this area.

The recent opportunities instead reflect state and local government demand for occupational health programs, benefits administration, and specialty medical referral networks. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations; the City of Phoenix sought independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations; the City of Long Beach requested a Centers of Excellence network for surgical procedures including shoulder, orthopedic, and spine; and Harris County Juvenile Probation issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these match the specific tissue-substitute shoulder fusion procedure named in the code, indicating that this Commodity code does not currently reflect active state and local procurement in orthopedic surgical procedures.
