UNSPSC 85711560: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right 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 right 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 0RPG4KZ

UNSPSC 85711560 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are currently procuring under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, specialty surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures on the acromioclavicular joint. The code's nominal name suggests a highly specific surgical intervention, whereas the actual procurement activity addresses administrative medical services, staffing, and benefit program management across diverse healthcare settings.

The mismatch between code nomenclature and procurement reality signals that this Commodity code either is being misapplied by issuing bodies at time of posting or has drifted from its intended taxonomy function. State and local issuers posting opportunities under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), municipal retirement boards (Phoenix), cities (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county commissioners offices (Collier County). The geographic spread spans California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation services RFP ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing non-exclusive qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). Until the code is either corrected or state and local procurement offices begin using it more precisely, the actual procurement activity under this classification remains too scattered and disconnected from orthopedic surgery to constitute a coherent market segment for business development purposes.
