UNSPSC 85711564: Removal of internal fixation device from right 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 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 0RPG44Z

UNSPSC 85711564 Removal of internal fixation device from right acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a single orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical implant removal or procedural services aligned with that scope. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and inpatient emergency care for youth in custody — none of which map to the code's stated procedure.

The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a structural misalignment between the code's procedural specificity and how state and local procurement offices apply UNSPSC taxonomy to health services contracts. The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies — county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington), and municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach) — but none address the surgical implant removal described in the code. Without evidence of solicitations actually seeking the stated procedure or related implant-removal services, this code does not represent a meaningful market segment for business development targeting state and local procurement right now.
