UNSPSC 85711156: Replacement of right 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 right 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 0RRG0KZ

UNSPSC 85711156 Replacement of right acromioclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment between its nominal scope and state and local procurement activity on record. The recent opportunities block contains six solicitations, none of which involve orthopedic implant procurement, joint replacement surgery, or any surgical supplies or devices. Instead, the tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing placement. This code shows little relevant recent activity in the state and local market.

The source provides no evidence of state and local governments purchasing right acromioclavicular joint replacements or related orthopedic implants under this UNSPSC code. The mismatch between the code's anatomical-procedure name and the medical-services and staffing management work actually tagged to it suggests either miscoding at the source level or the code's inapplicability to current state and local health procurement practice. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify its accuracy in the issuing bodies' procurement systems before pursuing activity, as the opportunities presented do not support a viable market signal for the product or service the code nominally describes.
