UNSPSC 85711421: Fusion of left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 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 0RGH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85711421 Fusion of left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show minimal relevant activity and instead reflect a mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual services being solicited. The opportunities named under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and surgical care networks — none of which align with the code's nominal definition of a single joint-fusion surgical intervention. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee benefits divisions (Long Beach), indicating fragmented procurement across diverse public health and benefit administration functions rather than orthopedic surgical services procurement.

Recent opportunities show no pattern of state and local procurement activity specific to acromioclavicular joint fusion procedures. The Washington State Ferries medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) involve occupational and disability medical assessment rather than surgical procedure delivery. The Long Beach Centers of Excellence proposal (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) includes shoulder procedures within a broader bundled-payment surgical network but does not isolate joint-fusion work. The geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington reflects only the jurisdictions of the issuing bodies, not any concentration of procurement demand for the specified procedure. This code should be considered inactive for state and local government contracting purposes; vendors pursuing orthopedic surgical services contracts would find more relevant activity under broader surgical services or healthcare network codes.
