UNSPSC 85712864: Destruction of right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0R5J4ZZ

UNSPSC 85712864 Destruction of right shoulder joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with a nominal surgical-procedure name that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity actually posted under it. The opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational health surveillance, disability medical record review and evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing placement, surgical carve-out benefit program design, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which describe shoulder joint destruction procedures or any surgical procedure itself. This mismatch signals either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the issuing bodies' classification practices. The code shows no recent opportunities for orthopaedic surgical services, implants, or procedure-specific consumables that would logically fall under its stated scope.

The recent opportunities posted under this code originate from county human resources and health system procurement offices rather than surgical-procurement or facility-management arms. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) requested proposals for a surgical carve-out benefit program due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's ferry division sought occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026; Collier County (Florida) solicited pharmacy benefit management services with a proposal deadline of April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) sought temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The geographic spread covers California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but the activities themselves bear no meaningful relationship to the code's nominal commodity definition, rendering this code an unreliable signal for business development targeting shoulder joint procedures or related surgical work.
