UNSPSC 85711561 Removal of synthetic substitute from right acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in practice does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, emergency youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve orthopedic joint procedures or surgical implant removal. The code's narrow clinical specificity does not match the breadth of medical services state and local bodies actually buy, and the mismatch suggests either systematic mis-tagging in the procurement system or use of the code outside its intended scope.

Activity appears across multiple state and local jurisdictions.

The City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026, with contract go-live targeted for April 1, 2027. Collier County (Florida) posted an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) posted an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. The code does not support a pursue recommendation without clarification of whether the mis-tagging is systematic or intentional.
