This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from right 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 0RPG0JZ

UNSPSC 85711209 Removal of synthetic substitute from right acromioclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this taxonomy are for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve removal of synthetic joint substitutes or surgical procedures themselves. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the source opportunities or persistent misclassification of medical administrative and staffing services under a surgical procedure code. State and local procurement activity under this code does not support a pursue recommendation at this time.

No representative surgical procedure opportunities appear in the recent solicitations. The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include city retirement boards (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington), county juvenile authorities (Harris County), and county government procurement offices (Collier County)—but none are soliciting surgical procedures or implant-removal services. Geographic spread shows activity in California, Florida, Arizona, Texas, and Washington, but again the work being bought does not align with the code's nominal scope.
