UNSPSC 85711152: Reposition right sternoclavicular joint with internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right sternoclavicular joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RSE04Z

UNSPSC 85711152 (Reposition right sternoclavicular joint with internal fixation device, open approach) is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, shows minimal alignment between the clinical procedure taxonomy and actual government buying. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing qualification pools, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic joint repositioning or surgical fixation. State and local issuing bodies appear to have tagged these health system and municipal procurement actions with a code that does not match the work being solicited. The code shows no evidence of actual contracting for the sternoclavicular joint procedure named in its title.

The mismatch suggests this code carries little decision-relevant activity for vendors in orthopedic surgery or implant supply. Buyers posting opportunities under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—a geographic and sectoral mix spanning Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. No recent solicitations align with orthopedic surgical services or device procurement. If your firm pursues state and local health-system or municipal contracts, monitor this code cautiously; current tagging appears to reflect procurement-system classification drift rather than genuine demand for the procedure the code nominally describes.
