UNSPSC 85711360: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right 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 0RPG3KZ

UNSPSC 85711360, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its clinical scope. The code's narrow technical definition—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure involving joint reconstruction—does not match the work actually being solicited under it in the state and local market. Recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and surgical carve-out program administration—none of which involve the orthopedic procedure the code names. This mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical taxonomy and procurement practice in the state and local space.

The recent opportunities show issuance from city retirement offices (Phoenix), city employee benefit programs (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System) across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Geographic spread is sparse and inconsistent with the code's scope. Given the consistent misalignment between the code definition and the work being solicited, this Commodity code does not present a meaningful pursuit opportunity for vendors specializing in orthopedic tissue substitution or joint reconstruction services.
