UNSPSC 85711248 Insertion of infusion device into right sternoclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the taxonomy. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal clinical procedure scope. The opportunities actually being solicited are occupational medical surveillance examinations, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these services involve the insertion of infusion devices into sternoclavicular joints; the code appears to be a taxonomic mismatch. State and local procurement activity under this code tag does not reflect genuine demand for the procedure named in the code's title.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), city pension and retirement boards (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the clinical procedure it nominally describes; business development professionals should verify that opportunities tagged under this code actually require the product or service being pursued before committing bid resources.
