UNSPSC 85711250: Fusion of left acromioclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left acromioclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RGH0KZ

UNSPSC 85711250, Fusion of left acromioclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six state and local opportunities tagged under this code in the past two months span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability pension medical evaluations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which describe orthopedic surgical procedures, joint fusion, or tissue substitute implants. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) and the actual solicitations suggests that this code is either rarely used by state and local buyers for its intended purpose or has been incorrectly assigned to opportunities in the medical services domain.

State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for practical business development purposes. The opportunities present in the recent dataset are administrative medical services, managed care contracting, and health system staffing — categories that do not align with orthopedic implant procurement or surgical procedure billing. Confirm with your prospect's procurement office whether surgical procedure codes, implant procurement, or related orthopedic materials fall under a different UNSPSC family or are procured through a health system's group purchasing organization rather than direct state or local RFP.
