This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left clavicle, open 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 0PCB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85693409 Extirpation of matter from left clavicle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical-procedure taxonomy designation and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures on the clavicle. Instead, they span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits coordination, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of clavicular bone extraction. The issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems, reflecting a broad cross-sectional base of public employers and public health administrators managing medical and occupational health programs rather than performing or procuring orthopedic surgical procedures.

The geographic spread is wide: Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (statewide ferries operations). Recent activity includes the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services and disability benefit determination support with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, and related ancillary categories) with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows active procurement but appears to be systematically misaligned with its clinical taxonomy classification, suggesting either a data-quality issue in the source material or inconsistent tagging by issuing offices.
