This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right acromioclavicular joint with synthetic substitute, open 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 0RUG0JZ

UNSPSC 85711133 Supplement right acromioclavicular joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code purports to cover a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — implantation of a synthetic acromioclavicular joint prosthesis — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, employee pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic implants, joint replacement supplies, or surgical materials. The misalignment between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being bought suggests either a data-classification error in the source system or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services rather than its intended commodity line.

The recent opportunities cluster in Florida (Collier County, Monroe County) and Georgia (Muscogee County) county governments and California (San Mateo County) and California (Santa Monica) municipal systems, covering employee and inmate health services delivery rather than surgical supplies or devices. No repeat buyers appear across the sampled opportunities, and no orthopedic vendors, implant manufacturers, or surgical supply chain activity is evident. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should confirm the correct UNSPSC assignment with the issuing jurisdictions before investing in pursuit strategy, as the current classification appears to misrepresent the actual commodity or service being transacted.
