UNSPSC 85711219: Removal of internal fixation device from left sternoclavicular joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from left 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 0RPF04Z

UNSPSC 85711219 (Commodity code) concerns removal of internal fixation devices from specific anatomical sites via surgical approach, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with orthopedic implant removal. Instead, the code's recent activity spans occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation, pharmacy benefit administration, surgical care networks, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—a collection of health plan administration and occupational health services that do not map to the code's nominal scope of surgical device extraction. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting typical government employee benefit and occupational health purchasing patterns rather than surgical supply or facility-based orthopedic procurement.

The recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 seeks occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 requests independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP HR26753 solicits a surgical care network carve-out for Centers of Excellence with proposals due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 procures pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members. The code shows no meaningful recent activity in surgical device procurement, implant extraction services, or orthopedic operating room supply and may warrant recoding review with the issuing jurisdictions.
