UNSPSC 85711164 Replacement of right sternoclavicular joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code, but state and local governments show little relevant procurement activity under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue-substitute joint replacements. Instead, they cover independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical care-network management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific surgical joint procedure.

The mismatch between the code's defined service and actual state and local buying under it suggests that either the code is misapplied to these opportunities or the code itself sees minimal direct procurement activity in state and local contracting. Businesses evaluating this Commodity code should verify the accuracy of code assignment before committing resources to pursue related opportunities, as the tagged solicitations do not present a clear market signal for the specific procedure named.
