This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left shoulder region with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85772265 Alteration of left shoulder region with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes surgical orthopedic procedures, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect orthopedic surgery work. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's stated surgical scope. The mismatch signals either persistent miscoding at the source jurisdictions or a data quality issue; the code shows little relevant recent activity in its intended domain.

Activity appears concentrated among large municipal and county health systems and public employee benefit programs in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations, worth $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for its Anthem Blue Cross PPO members. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations. Santa Clara County Health System posted a qualification pool solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities involve orthopedic shoulder surgery or synthetic implant procurement as the code title suggests. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their service lines before pursuing work under this code.
