This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into 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 0RHF03Z

UNSPSC 85711245 Insertion of infusion device into left sternoclavicular joint, open approach (Commodity) shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code request occupational medical surveillance services, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs, emergency and specialty medical care for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve infusion device insertion or sternoclavicular joint procedures. The code appears to have been applied to procurement vehicles that serve broader occupational health, employee benefit administration, and clinical service contracting rather than to a discrete surgical procedure. The issuing bodies include state health and transportation departments, county human resources and juvenile probation offices, cities, and health systems across multiple states.

The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas based on recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's request for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little actionable relevance to vendors offering infusion device insertion or sternoclavicular joint surgical services; the disconnect suggests either a systematic coding error in the state and local procurement system or that this commodity code has been repurposed for broader medical and occupational health service procurement.
