This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left shoulder region with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0X030KZ

UNSPSC 85772264 Alteration of left shoulder region with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at odds with recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not procure surgical procedures themselves but rather services that support health benefit administration, occupational health screening, medical evaluation, pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing. State and local governments are using this code to solicit administrative and support services related to medical care delivery rather than the surgical intervention the code name prescribes. The issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), city health benefits programs (City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). This misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding at the source or that the code has been repurposed in local taxonomies to cover medical services procurement more broadly.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The most substantial near-term activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 maximum over five years for disability benefit determinations); the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP due October 9, 2026 (baseline and periodic examinations for ferry system employees across 14 locations); the City of Long Beach's surgical benefits carve-out program RFP due October 7, 2026 (centers of excellence for knee, hip, shoulder, spine, and oncology procedures); and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP due April 9, 2026 (approximately $8.7 million historical annual spend). The County of Santa Clara Health System is also building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 health professional categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. No volume commitments or set-aside designations are named across these opportunities.
