UNSPSC 85711430: Fusion of right 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 right 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 0RGG34Z

UNSPSC 85711430 Fusion of right acromioclavicular joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic joint fusion procedures or surgical implant devices. State and local governments are instead procuring comprehensive occupational health services, medical record review and examination coordination, pharmacy administration, and clinical staffing placement through this code classification, suggesting a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and current buying practice.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction dominating solicitation volume. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a response due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing with responses due October 7, 2026. The code's assignment to these medical administration and staffing procurement activities rather than surgical device or implant sales indicates either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or substantial divergence between the UNSPSC category definition and operational categorization practice. Firms pursuing work in occupational medicine, medical benefit administration, or clinical staffing placement may see activity under this code, but the connection to orthopedic fusion procedures is not supported by recent opportunity data.
