UNSPSC 85711445: Excision of left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0RBH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85711445 Excision of left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not match its clinical scope and represent a significant mismatch between the code assignment and actual procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for a county health care consortium, virtual primary and urgent care services for a county workforce, peer support services for mental health workers, and medical director services for a fire department—are all administrative, operational, or management healthcare services rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. None of the solicitations involve the specific clinical intervention named in the code.

This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical definition. Business development professionals evaluating this code should recognize that the UNSPSC assignment does not reflect the work actually being solicited and should instead track procurement opportunities through healthcare services and administration codes if pursuing county and municipal medical services contracts.
