UNSPSC 85711557: Removal of internal fixation device from left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0RPH44Z

UNSPSC 85711557 Removal of internal fixation device from left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure name and the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities in the block are tagged to this code but do not involve orthopedic surgery, device removal, or acromioclavicular joint procedures. Instead, they track medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code's narrow clinical specificity—naming a single surgical intervention—conflicts with the breadth of medical administration and service-delivery work appearing in recent state and local solicitations.

The issuing bodies span county governments, state departments, and municipal health systems. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31); the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, covering approximately $8.7 million in annual historical spending). Activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The code appears to carry minimal decision value for business development professionals—the recent posting pattern does not support procurement of the orthopedic surgical service the code name describes, and practitioners should treat the code tag as a classification artifact rather than a signal of active market demand for device-removal procedures in state and local health systems.
