This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right acromioclavicular joint, 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 0RSG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85711147 Reposition right acromioclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the opportunities now being solicited under this code encompass medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical care carve-outs — none of which involve direct performance of acromioclavicular joint repositioning. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a drift in how this code is being applied to health services contracting more broadly.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington) solicited occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a two-year initial term and optional extensions. The City of Long Beach (California) requested proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for its Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026, targeting Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, and oncology procedures. Santa Clara County Health System (California) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. Given the divergence between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought, this code shows little relevant recent activity for direct surgical procedure performance.
