This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from 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 0RPFX4Z

UNSPSC 85711047 Removal of internal fixation device from left sternoclavicular joint, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the sourced opportunities are for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or sternoclavicular joint interventions. This mismatch indicates that the code shows little relevant recent activity or has been incorrectly applied to these opportunities by issuing bodies.

The opportunities that do appear under this code reflect broader health care contracting by county governments and special-purpose districts rather than orthopedic surgery procurement. Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department (Muscogee County Prison, Georgia) issued an RFP in April 2026 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services in April 2026; Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services in March 2026; San Mateo County Health in California posted an RFP for peer support services in February 2026; and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) issued an RFP for a fire department medical director in February 2026. These solicitations target administrative healthcare contracting, care coordination, and medical management rather than surgical services. If your firm pursues orthopedic surgical procedure codes, this code's current activity does not reflect that market—verify the correct UNSPSC classification with your target customers before investing business development resources.
