UNSPSC 85772436: Excision of right shoulder region, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right shoulder region, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0XB24ZZ

UNSPSC 85772436 Excision of right shoulder region, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities tagged under it instead reflect health benefits administration, occupational medicine, disability medical evaluations, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which constitute performance of the named surgical procedure. State and local governments do not procure shoulder arthroscopy procedures themselves through traditional solicitations; they contract for medical administration, staffing, and benefit management services that may reference orthopedic or shoulder procedures as part of a broader service scope. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how the opportunities were tagged or a fundamental misalignment between the code's surgical specificity and the purchasing realities of state and local healthcare procurement.

The recent opportunities posting under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies — a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile detention system (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), a county human resources consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County Health System) — across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations (RFP 26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals and shipyard locations (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing in multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQ HHS FY 270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the procedural nature of the code and the operational nature of the recent opportunities, the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms positioned to deliver shoulder surgery services to state and local buyers.
