This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device 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 0RPH00Z

UNSPSC 85711207 Removal of drainage device from left acromioclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code that captures orthopedic surgical procedure coding, but the recent state and local opportunities solicited under this tag show no alignment with the code's medical procedure classification. Instead, the six most recent opportunities involve occupational health surveillance, disability benefits medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal health plans, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which relate to surgical drainage device removal from a specific joint. The code shows little relevant recent activity for orthopedic implant removal or device-specific procedure delivery.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix reflect general public-sector health administration rather than orthopedic surgery services. Recent solicitations come from Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County Health System), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities—all procuring health services or health benefits administration. No recent opportunities name orthopedic surgical procedure delivery, implant removal, or device extraction services. Vendors pursuing work under this code should verify that their target customer base is actually soliciting orthopedic device-removal procedures or related surgical implant services before committing resources to qualification or proposal development, as the current activity does not support it.
