This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left sternoclavicular joint, open approach.

UNSPSC 85711231 Release left sternoclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal medical-procedure taxonomy does not align with the state and local opportunities currently tagged to it. The recent solicitations indexed under this code are instead purchasing occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention emergency medical services—none of which involve orthopedic joint release procedures. The code shows a mismatch between its stated scope and what is actually being procured under it in the state and local market.

Recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix, independent disability medical evaluations for public safety pension systems), California (City of Long Beach, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits; County of Santa Clara, temporary health professional staffing), Florida (Collier County, pharmacy benefit management), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention). The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county human resources and health departments, a state transportation agency, and a county juvenile probation department. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, responses due October 7 for references, Apparent Successful Bidder announcement October 20, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code currently reflects administrative or occupational health purchasing rather than surgical procedures and is not a reliable signal for business development purposes in orthopedic or joint-surgery markets.
