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

UNSPSC 85711161 Replacement of left sternoclavicular joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. However, recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic joint replacement at all. Instead, the solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement activity. State and local buyers using this code are health systems, counties, cities, and state transportation departments seeking to contract for medical administration, staffing, and benefit management services rather than the specific orthopedic procedure the code nominally names.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years) to prepare disability medical records and schedule independent medical examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program (due October 7, 2026) offering pre- and post-care for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026) requiring examinations across 14 ferry system locations by physicians board-certified in occupational medicine. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI (due September 25, 2026) for emergency, inpatient, outpatient, and specialty healthcare services for detained youth. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (due April 9, 2026, historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million).
