This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage 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 0RPF00Z

UNSPSC 85711221 Removal of drainage device from left sternoclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal substantive alignment to the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; the recent solicitations capture employee health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty care services for youth in custody — none of which involve drainage device removal or the surgical intervention the code prescribes. State and local procurement bodies are using this code to classify health-care-adjacent administrative and staffing services rather than orthopedic procedures themselves, indicating a mismatch between the code's procedural definition and the work actually being bought.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). The code shows recent activity but little relevance to orthopedic surgical procedures or device removal — vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify alignment with the issuing body's actual scope of work before investing in proposal development.
