UNSPSC 85711252: Fusion of left acromioclavicular joint with autologous 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 autologous 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 0RGH07Z

UNSPSC 85711252 "Fusion of left acromioclavicular joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the work actually being solicited by public bodies under this code. Recent opportunities posted by state and local jurisdictions have been tagged with this code but describe medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-outs, and youth detention medical care—none of which involve acromioclavicular joint fusion or tissue-substitute orthopedic surgery. The mismatch reflects a classification error in the source data rather than active state and local procurement for the procedure named in the code.

The recent opportunities that carry this code number span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Cities of Long Beach and Collier County), Washington (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), but they address employee health plan administration, temporary clinical staffing pools, and occupational medicine programs rather than surgical procedures. No solicitation in the block describes procurement of orthopedic fusion services, surgical supplies, or implants. State and local buyers do not appear to be using this Commodity code for its intended orthopedic purpose in current contracting activity.
