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 0XB23ZZ

UNSPSC 85772324 Excision of right shoulder region, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local government procurement activity under this code does not align with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve orthopedic shoulder excision as a procurable service line. State and local governments do not typically solicit individual surgical procedures through procurement notices; the code appears to have been misapplied across a range of health-related administrative and staffing services. Issuing bodies include county health systems, county social services departments, city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, and county commissioners' offices, suggesting the code is being used as a catch-all classification for healthcare contracting rather than a specific procedure code.

No meaningful procurement activity exists under this code as written. The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure designation and the actual scope of work being solicited — which centers on medical evaluation administration, staffing placement, benefit program management, and occupational health compliance — indicates either systematic miscoding or a fundamental category structure problem for state and local healthcare procurement. Vendors should verify code alignment during opportunity evaluation and clarify with issuing offices whether they are pursuing healthcare administrative services, occupational medicine compliance, or staffing solutions, rather than relying on this code as a reliable procurement signal.
