UNSPSC 85711227: Removal of infusion device from right sternoclavicular joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device 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 0RPE03Z

UNSPSC 85711227 "Removal of infusion device from right sternoclavicular joint, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedural taxonomy label and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve infusion device removal or sternoclavicular joint procedures. This classification inconsistency suggests the code is being used as a catch-all tag for general medical and health services procurement rather than as a precision marker for the procedure it nominally describes.

Recent opportunities span state departments, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, and city retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.
