UNSPSC 85711048: Removal of infusion device from left sternoclavicular joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion 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 0RPFX3Z

UNSPSC 85711048 (Removal of infusion device from left sternoclavicular joint, external approach), a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with orthopedic surgical device removal; instead, they reflect state and local government purchasing for occupational health surveillance, pension disability evaluations, employee health benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve infusion device procedures or sternoclavicular joint interventions. The mismatch suggests the code is being applied inconsistently or incorrectly to health services that fall outside its intended product and service category.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Activity is geographically scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration pattern. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP for pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing RFQ (due October 7, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope and recent procurement activity are substantially misaligned, pursue alternative UNSPSC codes within orthopedic or surgical device families rather than relying on this commodity classification.
