This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer 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 0RPG08Z

UNSPSC 85711210 "Removal of spacer from right acromioclavicular joint, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which represent the orthopedic joint procedure the code nominally names. This mismatch indicates a tagging error rather than active procurement of the procedure itself.

The source shows no relevant recent opportunities under this code. State and local agencies are not soliciting for removal of acromioclavicular joint spacers or related orthopedic procedures; instead, the code has been applied to broader health services and staffing acquisitions. Buyers pursuing work in occupational medicine, disability evaluation, pharmacy administration, or temporary clinical staffing should verify UNSPSC alignment directly with issuing bodies rather than rely on this code as a procurement signal.
