UNSPSC 85711553: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RPH4KZ

UNSPSC 85711553 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not map to the work actually being solicited under recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — removal of a tissue substitute from a shoulder joint via minimally invasive endoscopy — yet recent postings tagged to it solicit independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these services involve the performance of the procedure named in the code, nor do they fall within orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, or shoulder-joint treatment. The mismatch appears systematic rather than occasional; the code shows little relevant recent procurement activity.

The source contains no evidence of state and local governments soliciting the specific procedure described in the code. The issuing bodies posting under this code — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System — are procuring administrative health-benefit functions, occupational medicine oversight, staffing placement, and network management services. These are administrative healthcare support activities, not surgical procedures. Without evidence that the code is being used to solicit the actual procedure it names, pursuit is not warranted under this code.
