UNSPSC 85711050: Removal of internal fixation device from right sternoclavicular joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right 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 0RPEX4Z

UNSPSC 85711050 Removal of internal fixation device from right sternoclavicular joint, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's medical taxonomy nominally refers to a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve removal of orthopedic fixation devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of solicitation entry or a taxonomy limitation that conflates broad healthcare procurement with procedure-specific UNSPSC classifications.

The six most recent opportunities under this code span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas and cover independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP due October 16, 2026), surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for a municipal PPO plan (City of Long Beach, RFP due October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP due October 9, 2026), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County, RFP due April 9, 2026—note: this deadline appears to be in the past relative to the posting date and should be verified), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP due October 7, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing orthopedic surgical services or medical device removal contracting; pursuit under this code is unlikely to yield aligned opportunities.
