UNSPSC 85711023, Revision of synthetic substitute in right sternoclavicular joint, external approach, is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical implant revision procedures. However, recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's stated scope; instead, they reflect solicitations for occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical procedure carve-out network management. The code appears to be misapplied in recent procurement activity, as none of the opportunities involve sternoclavicular joint implant revision or related surgical hardware. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county government entities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), city retirement offices and employee benefits divisions (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach Human Resources), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers at 14 statewide locations, due October 9, 2026, with cost-based scoring and a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753) for surgical procedure carve-out networks through Centers of Excellence for the city's Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026, with anticipated contract execution April 1, 2027; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed work volume. The mismatch between the code's clinical device scope and the actual content of these opportunities signals that this code is not reliably applied for relevant procurement activity in state and local markets.
