UNSPSC 85711008: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right acromioclavicular joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right 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 0RWGXKZ

UNSPSC 85711008 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right acromioclavicular joint, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code itself nominates a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—revision of a nonautologous (synthetic or allograft) tissue substitute in the acromioclavicular joint via external surgical approach. The six recent opportunities in the block, however, solicit medical evaluation, surveillance, and benefit administration services: independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement disability determinations (Phoenix), occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers (Washington State), surgical benefit carve-out network management (Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System), emergency and inpatient care for detained youth (Harris County), and an information request for specialty and emergency services. None of these procurements concern orthopedic implants, tissue substitutes, or joint revision procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The mismatch suggests that the UNSPSC coding applied to these opportunities does not reflect the actual goods or services being sought. State and local procurement systems sometimes apply codes imprecisely or default to placeholder taxonomy entries. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the actual commodity or service category they intend to pursue rather than relying on the posted UNSPSC number alone, and should consult directly with issuing procurement offices to confirm scope alignment before investing in pre-bid or proposal effort.
