UNSPSC 85711144: Resection of right sternoclavicular joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right sternoclavicular joint, 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 0RTE0ZZ

UNSPSC 85711144 Resection of right sternoclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local opportunities tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, Centers of Excellence surgical networks for employee health plans, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve performance of the named sternoclavicular resection procedure itself. The mismatch appears systematic: issuing bodies are using this code to tag health services administration and benefit procurement rather than direct surgical intervention.

Geographic activity in the recent record spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no standout concentration by state or jurisdiction type. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office, municipal employee health benefits programs, a state transportation agency, a county health system, and a county juvenile detention authority — a broad cross-section of local and regional public bodies. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum (proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical Centers of Excellence benefit carve-out programs with an April 1, 2027 anticipated go-live, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for Washington State Ferries across 14 statewide ferry terminals (proposals due October 9, 2026). The code shows recent activity but carries little signal value for vendors targeting direct surgical services; the tagging misalignment suggests potential classification drift in state and local procurement systems.
