UNSPSC 85711612: Insertion of spacer into right acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RHG48Z

UNSPSC 85711612 Insertion of spacer into right acromioclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually procuring occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the insertion of acromioclavicular joint spacers. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System), indicating no concentration among a particular jurisdiction type.

The code shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the work actually being bought. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability pension determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (due October 7, 2026). Geographically, recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. The code assignment appears to reflect miscoding or data entry error rather than substantive procurement under the orthopedic surgery procedure it nominally describes, limiting its utility for tracking actual state and local spending patterns in related service families.
