This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0RPH34Z

UNSPSC 85711357 Removal of internal fixation device from left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—a single orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the scope of services state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and specialty medical procedure carve-out benefits—none of which involve the removal of orthopedic hardware.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations with a $750,000 five-year maximum contract); the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit and Center of Excellence program); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no apparent concentration in any single jurisdiction. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests this code may be a cataloging artifact rather than an active procurement vehicle for state and local governments. Firms should verify code alignment with specific opportunities before pursuing.
