UNSPSC 85711039: Repair left sternoclavicular joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left sternoclavicular joint, external 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 0RQFXZZ

UNSPSC 85711039 Repair left sternoclavicular joint, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—orthopedic surgical repair—bears no meaningful relation to the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve sternoclavicular joint repair or any orthopedic surgical procedure; instead, they represent administrative health-benefit contracting, occupational medicine compliance, and clinical staffing for public-sector health systems and government agencies. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error or a fundamental disconnect between the code's definition and how procurement systems are currently classifying health-related state and local opportunities.

Issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—a mix of municipal employee-benefit offices, state transportation agencies, county health and detention systems, and regional health authorities. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure Centers of Excellence for employee health plans (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Activity is geographically distributed across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The code shows little relevant recent activity to orthopedic surgical procedures and warrants classification review.
