UNSPSC 85711148: Reposition right acromioclavicular joint with internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right 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 0RSG04Z

UNSPSC 85711148 "Reposition right acromioclavicular joint with internal fixation device, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy entry. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve orthopedic joint repositioning or surgical implants. The code appears to be a medical billing or clinical procedure descriptor that state and local procurement systems have incorrectly applied to administrative healthcare services and staffing solicitations, suggesting either a data-entry error in the source system or a fundamental mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies have categorized these opportunities.

The source shows no recent state and local procurements actually buying orthopedic surgical devices, internal fixation hardware, or operative orthopedic services under this code. Purchasing activity across the six recorded opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but these jurisdictions are soliciting health plan administration, occupational health services, medical staffing, and evaluation services rather than surgical supplies or procedures. Absent a correction to the source data or clarification of the issuing bodies' intended UNSPSC category, this code should be treated as showing no actionable recent activity for orthopedic implant or surgical service vendors.
