UNSPSC 85711263: Fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with internal fixation device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RGF04Z

UNSPSC 85711263, Fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with internal fixation device, open approach (Commodity), shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity under the code. The recent opportunities posted do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures or implantable medical devices; instead, they describe occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs for government employees and covered populations. The code's abstract designation as a specific surgical implant procedure does not align with the health plan administration, medical services contracting, and occupational medicine services that state and local bodies are actively soliciting under this classification.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county human resources and procurement offices (Collier County), county juvenile probation (Harris County), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), and municipal employee benefits administration (City of Long Beach). Activity is geographically dispersed across California, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and Washington, with no geographic concentration evident. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers across 14 locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026, supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel; and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its intended orthopedic surgical classification.
