UNSPSC 85711260: Fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RGF0KZ

UNSPSC 85711260 Fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve fusion of the sternoclavicular joint or nonautologous tissue substitutes. The mismatch indicates a coding error in how the opportunities were tagged rather than genuine procurement activity aligned with the code's stated definition.

The six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal procurement bureaus (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), and county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, though the opportunities reflect administrative and staffing needs unrelated to orthopedic surgery procurement. Absent genuine market activity matching the code's substance, this code does not present a meaningful pursue or watch opportunity for vendors specializing in orthopedic implants or surgical fusion services.
