UNSPSC 85711000: Clavicular joints, external approach

This class includes one or more of 16 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the clavicular joints with external approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0R.

UNSPSC 85711000 Clavicular joints, external approach is a Class code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally references orthopedic surgical procedures affecting the clavicular joint, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical centers of excellence carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention emergency medicine—none of which involve clavicular joint surgery or direct orthopedic procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this code is not actively used by state and local buyers for its intended orthopedic scope.

No representative opportunities for clavicular joint procedures appear in the recent posting block. When state and local procurement offices do solicit orthopedic surgical services, they typically tag them through different mechanisms—direct contracting with surgical facilities, carve-out benefit programs for specialty procedures, or employer health plan administration—rather than through this specific procedural code. Business development professionals should verify current coding practice with individual state and county procurement offices before allocating pursuit resources to this code tier.
