This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer 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 0RPG48Z

UNSPSC 85711562 Removal of spacer from right acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code are not procuring that service or related surgical services at all. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code request independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical care networks through Centers of Excellence, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with procurement of a joint-spacer removal procedure itself.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities are being tagged or that the code serves as a catch-all for health services spending that does not fit neatly into other UNSPSC categories. Recent opportunities originate from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with the bulk of activity in the West and Southwest. Because the tagged opportunities do not address the code's stated service, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities in this category.
