UNSPSC 85711030: Reposition left acromioclavicular joint with internal fixation device, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left acromioclavicular joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RSHX4Z

UNSPSC 85711030 Reposition left acromioclavicular joint with internal fixation device, external approach is a Commodity code that state and local governments tag for occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations, and employee health benefit administration, though the recent solicitation activity shows material misalignment between the code's nominal orthopedic surgical scope and what is actually being procured. The recent opportunities reveal state and local issuing bodies buying occupational medical surveillance services, disability evaluation administration, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve acromioclavicular joint surgery. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). The Phoenix Retirement Office, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, and Santa Clara County Health System each issued separate medical-services solicitations within the past eight weeks, suggesting ongoing demand for medical administration and clinical staffing across different public sectors and jurisdictions.

The code shows activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance covering 14 ferry system locations statewide, due October 9, 2026, with evaluation weighted 40 percent cost and 60 percent non-cost capability factors. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000 commencing February 3, 2027. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services due October 7, 2026 with contract execution and go-live targeted for April 1, 2027. Santa Clara County Health System established a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code's UNSPSC labeling appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-assignment error rather than a reflection of actual surgical-services procurement; state and local procurement offices are using this code to tag medical administration, occupational health, and temporary clinical staffing rather than orthopedic procedures.
