UNSPSC 85711457 Destruction of left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code are actually purchasing occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, and youth detention emergency medical services — none of which involve acromioclavicular joint destruction or orthopedic surgery performed on public employees or beneficiaries. The mismatch between the code's clinical nomenclature and the actual scope of services being procured suggests either miscoding in source systems or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health services in general. The issuing bodies include county governments (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), reflecting fragmented procurement across multiple jurisdiction types and administrative purposes.

Recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response date of October 16, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and anticipated contract award by November 30, 2026. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits management for its Anthem PPO plan with a response date of October 7, 2026 and anticipated go-live of April 1, 2027. Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million annually. The code shows little relevant recent activity when assessed against its stated clinical scope; pursue only if your firm's actual work matches the health administration and occupational medicine services the source describes rather than the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally represents.
