UNSPSC 85711158: Replacement of right acromioclavicular joint with autologous 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 autologous 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 0RRG07Z

UNSPSC 85711158 Replacement of right acromioclavicular joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not align with that clinical scope. The opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve acromioclavicular joint replacement or autologous tissue grafting. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems tagging these opportunities or a fundamental divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy definition and how issuing bodies are applying the code to actual health services contracting.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for Centers of Excellence services due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026. Given the consistent miscoding pattern, pursuit under this code should be limited; instead, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for health services contracting opportunities in their target jurisdictions to ensure alignment with actual procurement intent.
