UNSPSC 85711202: Removal of synthetic substitute from left acromioclavicular joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 0RPH0JZ

UNSPSC 85711202, Removal of synthetic substitute from left acromioclavicular joint, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — excision of a synthetic material from the shoulder joint — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect health services administration, medical staffing, occupational medicine surveillance, and pharmacy benefit management rather than the orthopedic surgical intervention the code name specifies.

The source contains six recent state and local opportunities posted between July and September 2026, none of which directly procure the joint-repair procedure the code describes. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical carve-out benefit programs that include orthopedic procedures among other specialties but are fundamentally insurance network arrangements; the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. This tagging mismatch suggests the code may be incorrectly applied in one or more procurement systems, and prospective vendors should verify with issuing bodies whether opportunities genuinely require the specific orthopedic surgical services this code represents rather than relying on the UNSPSC classification alone.
