UNSPSC 85711428: Fusion of right acromioclavicular joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right acromioclavicular joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0RGG3JZ

UNSPSC 85711428 Fusion of right acromioclavicular joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which align with orthopedic joint fusion procedures or surgical implants. This code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy code misapplied in state and local procurement systems that typically purchase administrative medical services, benefits management, and staffing rather than specific surgical interventions.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County, Collier County), city retirement and municipal benefits offices (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county probation departments (Harris County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Bidders pursuing activity under this code should recognize the mismatch between the procedure-specific code designation and the actual medical-services and benefits-administration work state and local governments are procuring.
