This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left sternoclavicular joint with autologous tissue substitute, open 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 0RUF07Z

UNSPSC 85711137 Supplement left sternoclavicular joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal designation reflects a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it bears no meaningful relationship to that scope. The six most recent opportunities recorded—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention emergency care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative healthcare services, health plan management, and occupational medicine programs that do not involve sternoclavicular joint procedures or autologous tissue grafting. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding within state and local procurement systems or the use of this code as a catch-all for healthcare-related solicitations outside its intended surgical taxonomy. State and local buyers issuing under this code include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a large city employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice system (Harris County), a county human resources and benefits consortium (Collier County), and a regional public health system (County of Santa Clara).

Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no discernible pattern of repeat procurement or sector concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at Washington State Ferries locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code shows no relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its stated orthopedic surgical scope and warrants reclassification review or exclusion from vendor pursuit unless a buying organization explicitly confirms intent to procure the surgical procedure itself.
