UNSPSC 85711153: Replacement of left acromioclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left acromioclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue 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 0RRH0KZ

UNSPSC 85711153 Replacement of left acromioclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not track to surgical implants or device procurement. Instead, the solicitations tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-network management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's stated scope of a specific shoulder joint replacement procedure.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal governments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (County of Santa Clara, Harris County), and county procurement offices (Collier County). The recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year $750,000 contract ceiling; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026 with a two-year term and optional five-year extension; and the County of Santa Clara Health System multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Washington State, and Texas (Harris County). The code appears misapplied to these opportunities; no substantive connection exists between the Commodity's orthopedic-implant scope and the health services administration, occupational medicine, or staffing services being actively solicited. Pursue opportunities only after verifying the actual procurement intent with the issuing body, as the code classification does not reflect the work being bought.
