UNSPSC 85712840: Extirpation of matter from right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0RCJ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85712840 Extirpation of matter from right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity actually being conducted under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve orthopedic shoulder procedures or endoscopic surgery. The code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local government procurement of the procedure it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include a state agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), and a municipal health system (City of Long Beach), suggesting the code may be incorrectly applied across disparate healthcare administration and staffing categories rather than reserved for clinical surgical procedures. Geographic activity spans Florida, California, Washington, Texas, and Arizona across the past two months, but no pattern of concentrated activity or repeat buyers emerges around the code's stated procedure scope. No business development interest in this code should rest on the UNSPSC classification itself; the mismatch between the code name and actual solicitation content indicates either systematic miscoding in the issuing agencies' procurement systems or a fundamental category misalignment that makes this code an unreliable signal for shoulder surgery procurement.
