This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage 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 0RPH40Z

UNSPSC 85711559, Removal of drainage device from left acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows significant mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and actual state and local purchasing activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect general occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, and emergency detention-facility medical services—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or acromioclavicular joint intervention. State and local buyers appear to be using this code as a catch-all for medical services procurement despite its specificity to a single orthopedic surgical technique, suggesting either cataloging misalignment or overuse of a narrowly defined code for broader health-care contracting.

Activity appears across multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types: Arizona city pension boards (Phoenix Fire and Police), California municipalities (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington state transportation authority (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas county juvenile justice (Harris County), and Florida county government (Collier County). Geographic spread spans the West Coast and beyond, with recent opportunities in Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (proposals due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect active procurement of the specific orthopedic surgical service its name denotes.
