UNSPSC 85711223: Removal of synthetic substitute from right sternoclavicular joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0RPE0JZ

UNSPSC 85711223 (Removal of synthetic substitute from right sternoclavicular joint, open approach), a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it do not align with that scope. Instead, the six recent solicitations span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of synthetic joint substitutes or surgical implant procedures. The mismatch between the code's technical definition and the work actually being solicited suggests either coding error at source or use of this Commodity code as a catch-all tag for medical services that do not fit the taxonomy precisely.

The issuing bodies represent diverse state and local entities: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic spread reflects activity in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), Washington State Ferries' RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Pursuit under this code is not recommended unless your firm operates within a specific medical evaluation, occupational health, or healthcare staffing discipline and can verify that your service aligns with an actual upcoming solicitation rather than relying on the code assignment alone.
