UNSPSC 85711241: Insertion of internal fixation device into right acromioclavicular joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into 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 0RHG04Z

UNSPSC 85711241 Insertion of internal fixation device into right acromioclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure on the acromioclavicular joint — does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code, which span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical implants or the narrow clinical service this code describes. The mismatch between the code assignment and the actual work being procured suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code is being used as a catch-all for healthcare services rather than its intended medical device category.

The five opportunities on record span multiple issuing bodies including county corrections systems (Muscogee County Prison), county human resources and healthcare coalitions (Collier County), county health systems (Monroe County), county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica). The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with no concentration in any single state. Because the code itself does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited, business development professionals should treat this as a signals issue — verify whether internal procurement classification errors exist at target agencies, and if so, pursue opportunities under the correct codes for inmate healthcare management, pharmacy services administration, virtual care platforms, and government employee benefits rather than this surgical-device category.
