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

UNSPSC 85711140 Supplement right sternoclavicular joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical orthopedic procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little direct alignment with that scope. The opportunities instead reflect medical evaluation, health benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve sternoclavicular joint augmentation surgery or autologous tissue grafting. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits administrators (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile detention health services (Harris County), county human resources and health consortiums (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). This diverse mix suggests the code may be serving as a catch-all tag for medical services procurement rather than capturing a narrow surgical specialty.

The geographic spread covers Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Collier County, Santa Clara County), Washington State, and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract valued at up to $750,000), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's orthopedic surgical specificity and the breadth of medical administration and staffing work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding by procurement offices or use of the code as a default placeholder for health services outside narrower clinical codes.
