UNSPSC 85711218 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left sternoclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure performed on a named anatomical site, yet recent opportunities tagged under this code solicitation focus on occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical networks, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve removal of tissue substitutes from sternoclavicular joints or match the code's narrow procedural scope.

The mismatch between code definition and actual buying activity suggests either miscoding within the source data or a classification system artifact. State and local jurisdictions posting under this code — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — are sourcing administrative and occupational health services, employee benefit carve-outs, and temporary staffing, not orthopedic surgical procedures. No pattern of relevant purchasing activity supports this code as currently tagged.
