This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right 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 0RGE0ZZ

UNSPSC 85711264 Fusion of right sternoclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not reflect surgical interventions. Instead, issuing bodies are using the code to solicit occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and independent medical evaluation services — administrative and operational healthcare support functions unrelated to orthopedic fusion surgery. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual recent procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding or a data quality issue in how jurisdictions are tagging healthcare opportunities. State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems, county human resources divisions, state transportation authorities, county juvenile justice agencies, and municipal pension boards. No clear pattern of repeat buyers emerges from the recent activity.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for public safety retirees, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited proposals to establish a temporary health professional staffing qualified vendor pool (due October 7, 2026) for ancillary clinical roles including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services. Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (closed April 9, 2026) covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. Given the persistent gap between code definition and actual procurement scope, vendors should treat this code as unreliable for targeting healthcare contracting opportunities and rely instead on direct solicitation monitoring by jurisdiction and service line.
