UNSPSC 85711449 Drainage of left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work being solicited in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities flagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determination, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or acromioclavicular joint drainage. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in the state and local procurement system. State and local governments are not currently buying drainage of left acromioclavicular joint services through public procurement under this taxonomy code.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Collier County, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have posted recent solicitations tagged to this code, but their actual scope — medical record review and summarization, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy administration, surgical networks, and ancillary clinical staffing — bears no relationship to orthopedic joint drainage. Unless the code is corrected in the source system, this Commodity code should not be pursued as a vehicle for state and local medical device, surgical supplies, or orthopedic service offerings.
