This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from left acromioclavicular joint, 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 0RPH3JZ

UNSPSC 85711354 Removal of synthetic substitute from left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the work actually being solicited by state and local governments in recent opportunities. The code's clinical specificity—a defined surgical procedure on a particular joint—bears no relation to the public-sector procurement activity posted under this code. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the removal of synthetic substitutes from the acromioclavicular joint or any similarly defined orthopedic procedure. The code classification appears to be a mislabeling artifact in the source data rather than a reflection of actual state and local buying patterns.

No relevant procurement opportunities exist under this code when evaluated against its stated scope. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the diverse healthcare administration and staffing services actually posted suggests the tagging is erroneous. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local opportunities and verify the correct classification if pursuing the healthcare staffing or medical services represented in these solicitations.
