This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left acromioclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0RUH3KZ

UNSPSC 85711329 Supplement left acromioclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a substantial mismatch between its technical scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the recent state and local contract activity tagged under it. The six recent opportunities in the block are for occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve acromioclavicular joint supplementation or any related orthopedic implant or surgical supply. The code appears to capture health care administration and occupational health services rather than the implantable medical device or surgical supply work the code's name suggests.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Recent representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (audiology, radiology, surgical, therapy, and related non-clinical roles), with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows no recent procurement of orthopedic implants, surgical supplies, or procedure-specific medical devices. Business development teams should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing work under this code.
