UNSPSC 85711135 Supplement left sternoclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—orthopedic joint implant procedures—does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations concern sternoclavicular joint implantation or orthopedic surgical procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical scope.

Across six recent opportunities, the issuing bodies include county human resources and pension offices (Phoenix), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara, Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), a city retirement office (Long Beach), and a state transportation department (Washington). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in a single region or jurisdiction type. The most recent opportunities are the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (response due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's disability medical evaluation RFP (response due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (response due October 7, 2026). This code appears to have been applied inconsistently or erroneously to health services procurement categories outside its clinical definition, rendering it unsuitable for vendor targeting in orthopedic implant supply or surgical services.
