This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right acromioclavicular joint, open approach.

UNSPSC 85711286 Destruction of right acromioclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code whose abstract medical/surgical taxonomy designation does not align with the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. Recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, surgical benefit management, pharmacy administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involves orthopedic surgical procedures or destruction of joints. The code shows little relevant recent activity within its nominal scope; the mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying opportunities or a divergence between the code's intended use and current procurement practice.

The six recent opportunities on file span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas and include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach requesting surgical carve-out and Center of Excellence network management for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department seeking specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County requesting pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical spend near $8.7 million annually (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies are primarily county and city government health or benefits divisions, pension/retirement boards, and public health systems rather than orthopedic surgical centers or hospital surgical services.
