UNSPSC 85711429: Fusion of right acromioclavicular joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right acromioclavicular joint with autologous tissue 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 0RGG37Z

UNSPSC 85711429 Fusion of right acromioclavicular joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its nominal medical-procedure scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code's technical name describes a specific orthopedic surgical technique, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect administrative and occupational health services entirely unrelated to joint-fusion procedures—including independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers. This represents a significant tagging mismatch and signals that the code carries little actionable procurement activity for vendors performing or supplying the surgical procedure itself.

Recent opportunities attributed to this code span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, across city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure Centers of Excellence services due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between code description and actual buying patterns suggests this code is either incorrectly applied in the source procurement database or being used as a miscellaneous catch-all for health services unrelated to orthopedic surgical procedures.
