This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into right acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85711412, Insertion of spacer into right acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its technical scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of orthopedic surgical procedures or devices; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve acromioclavicular joint spacer insertion or orthopedic implant devices. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). The code does not reflect a coherent procurement category based on the opportunities presented.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but none target the orthopedic surgical device or procedure service line that the code nominally describes. The Washington State Ferries medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) are the most recently posted opportunities, but both address occupational health and disability determinations rather than surgical joint procedures. The mismatch between the code's title and the actual work being solicited suggests that either the opportunities were miscoded or the code is not currently active for state and local procurement at the level of specificity this Commodity represents. Firms should verify code assignment before committing bid resources to opportunities in this category.
