UNSPSC 85711201: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left acromioclavicular joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left 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 0RPH0KZ

UNSPSC 85711201 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left acromioclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities available under this classification. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure involving removal of implanted material from a shoulder joint; however, recent solicitations tagged with this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical procedure networks, independent medical evaluations for disability determination, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve tissue substitute removal or open surgical repair of the acromioclavicular joint. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or a taxonomy alignment issue that renders this code unreliable for identifying relevant procurement activity in state and local markets.

The geographic spread of the six recent opportunities reflects activity across Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (WSDOT ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (response due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026). Buyers span city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile probation agencies. Given the absence of relevant orthopedic procedure solicitations and the categorical divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual state-local procurement activity, pursuit under this code would require independent verification of opportunity relevance at the time of each RFP posting.
