UNSPSC 85711441: Extirpation of matter from left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0RCH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85711441 Extirpation of matter from left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities posted under it bear no relation to orthopedic surgery or the code's nominal scope. The source contains no state and local solicitations for surgical procedures matching the code's name. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks for employee benefits, temporary clinical staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve acromioclavicular joint procedures. This appears to be a systematic miscoding issue where procurement offices have applied an orthopedic surgery code to unrelated healthcare administration and occupational medicine services.

The opportunities that do appear under this code show activity from state health agencies, county boards, municipal human resources divisions, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with notice types including RFP and RFI and response dates ranging from September through October 2026. Representative examples include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026; maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's request for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories (due October 7, 2026). The code as currently tagged does not support a meaningful business development strategy; firms competing for healthcare administration, occupational medicine, or employee benefit services should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing body rather than relying on this code's recent activity.
