UNSPSC 85772240: Excision of right shoulder region, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right shoulder region, open 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 0XB20ZZ

UNSPSC 85772240 Excision of right shoulder region, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the code's intended medical-procedure scope. Recent opportunities posted under this code actually concern occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical centers-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve the shoulder excision procedure the code name describes. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the originating procurement systems or a use of this code as a catch-all placeholder for health services generally. State and local issuing bodies soliciting work tagged to this code include county human resources departments, city retirement offices, county juvenile probation departments, state transportation agencies, and county health systems.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services covering approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000 and proposals due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide, with a two-year initial term and evaluation scheduled through October 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027. Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with scattered health-related procurement across county and municipal issuing bodies nationwide. Given the code-to-scope misalignment, this code should be treated with caution as an indicator of actual health services demand.
