UNSPSC 85711425: Fusion of left acromioclavicular joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left acromioclavicular joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RGH34Z

UNSPSC 85711425 Fusion of left acromioclavicular joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — fusion of the left acromioclavicular joint performed percutaneously with internal fixation — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and specialty surgical carve-out networks. None of these procurements involve the specific procedure the code nominally describes, nor do they involve medical device procurement, implant supply, or surgical procedure billing. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how issuing bodies have tagged their solicitations or a divergence between the code's clinical taxonomy and how state and local procurement systems apply it in practice.

The recent opportunities do not represent activity in the code as defined. State and local governments issuing under this code during the past three months include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the recent solicitations are plainly unrelated to the code's stated procedure, business development professionals should treat this code as currently inactive for the specific orthopedic surgical service it nominally represents.
