UNSPSC 85711002: Revision of synthetic substitute in left acromioclavicular joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left acromioclavicular joint, external 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 0RWHXJZ

UNSPSC 85711002, Revision of synthetic substitute in left acromioclavicular joint, external approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities reflect a fundamental mismatch: they solicit occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute revision of joint prostheses. The tagging appears to reflect a categorical error in the state and local procurement system rather than legitimate scope activity under this code.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. However, because these solicitations are unrelated to orthopedic joint revision procedures, this code shows no actionable activity for vendors in the joint replacement or orthopedic implant markets. Firms pursuing state and local procurement under this code should expect continued miscoding and should clarify the actual product or service category with procurement offices before bid preparation.
