UNSPSC 85711261: Fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with synthetic 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 0RGF0JZ

UNSPSC 85711261 Fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code showing minimal recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure (open fusion of the left sternoclavicular joint using synthetic material), yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect demand for this surgical intervention. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record summary and evaluation coordination, surgical benefit program management for government employees, pharmacy benefit administration, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve fusion surgery, joint implants, or the orthopedic surgical services the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, County of Santa Clara), and city pension boards (City of Phoenix), indicating fragmentation across different public-sector buyer types and administrative functions.

Geographic spread encompasses Washington, Arizona, Texas, Florida, and California based on recent postings. The most recent opportunities show the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services with a due date of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with a due date of October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing with a due date of October 7, 2026. The code appears to reflect a data-tagging mismatch rather than active procurement demand for orthopedic fusion procedures at the state and local level. Businesses pursuing this Commodity code should verify whether procurement opportunities are genuinely surgical-procedure-related or if the tagging reflects administrative error.
