UNSPSC 85711333: Supplement right acromioclavicular joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right acromioclavicular joint with synthetic 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 0RUG3JZ

UNSPSC 85711333 (Supplement right acromioclavicular joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach), a Commodity code, shows no direct purchasing activity aligned with its stated scope. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code procure occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out networks — none of which involve acromioclavicular joint implants or the surgical procedure itself. The mismatch between the code's taxonomy definition and actual procurement activity signals either systematic miscoding or a data classification error in the source records.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies without clustering. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach sought surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration for Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, response due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferries locations (RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, response due September 25, 2026); Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, response due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, response due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations address orthopedic implants, joint supplementation, or percutaneous surgical procedures. The code warrants review for re-classification accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
