UNSPSC 85711267: Fusion of right sternoclavicular joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right sternoclavicular joint with autologous 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 0RGE07Z

UNSPSC 85711267 Fusion of right sternoclavicular joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the scope of recent state and local contract opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving orthopedic joint fusion using tissue grafts, yet the posted opportunities across state and local jurisdictions reflect procurement of medical services administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve the actual performance of the surgical procedure named in the code.

The mismatch suggests either a miscoding by the issuing bodies or a significant gap between the code's nominal taxonomy definition and current procurement practice in state and local government. The recent opportunities posted under this code span diverse jurisdictions—Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State Ferries, Harris County, and Collier County—but each addresses healthcare administration, benefits management, or staffing coordination rather than surgical procedures. Without supporting evidence that state and local governments are actually soliciting surgeons or surgical facility services under UNSPSC 85711267, this code shows no relevant recent activity for business development purposes.
