This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0RQE0ZZ

UNSPSC 85711168 Repair right sternoclavicular joint, open approach (Commodity) does not align with the scope of state and local procurement activity tracked under this code. The recent opportunities posted show no solicitations for orthopedic surgical procedures or repair services; instead, the code's recent activity consists entirely of administrative health services, benefit management, and staffing procurement unrelated to sternoclavicular joint repair. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach requested surgical procedure carve-out benefit management; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County pursued pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve operative orthopedic care, implants, surgical instruments, or the clinical delivery of sternoclavicular repair.

The issuing bodies span state agencies, counties, and large municipalities with health system operations or employee benefit responsibilities—jurisdictions that procure health administration and staffing but not surgical repair services through standard purchasing channels. No recent opportunities support active state and local market demand for the commodity as named. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact; orthopedic surgical procedures and implant procurement, if purchased by public entities at all, would typically flow through provider contracts, hospital supply agreements, or healthcare network arrangements rather than direct state and local RFP activity. No representative recent opportunities exist under this code.
