UNSPSC 85772316: Insertion of infusion device into left shoulder region, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into left shoulder region, percutaneous 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 0XH333Z

UNSPSC 85772316 (Insertion of infusion device into left shoulder region, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears no meaningful relationship to the procedure named. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve infusion device insertion or shoulder surgery. The issuing bodies include state health and transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems. This code shows evidence of significant data-classification misalignment between the nominal UNSPSC definition and actual procurement practice.

Because the code's nominal scope does not align with what is actually being solicited, pursuing this code as a vehicle for infusion-device services would likely prove inefficient. The Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across multiple specialties excluding nursing and physicians (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), the City of Long Beach is seeking surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). Activity spans California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The code appears to function as a catch-all classifier for healthcare services procurement rather than as a precise surgical-procedure indicator, making it unreliable for targeting medical-device suppliers.
