UNSPSC 85711146: Reposition left acromioclavicular joint with internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left acromioclavicular joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RSH04Z

UNSPSC 85711146 Reposition left acromioclavicular joint with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but the five most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it—covering inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction—represent institutional healthcare administration and workforce support services, not surgical intervention procedures.

The mismatch between the code and the actual solicitations suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental misalignment in how this Commodity code is applied in state and local procurement systems. The recent opportunities span Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management for 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care for 2,300 county members), San Mateo County Health (peer support pilot funded at $580,000 over three years), and Santa Monica Fire Department (emergency medicine medical director). None of these procurements involve orthopedic surgical procedures or device-related procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing surgery-related or medical device contracts; business development professionals should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities listed under this classification, as current tagging does not reflect the code's nominal scope.
