UNSPSC 85711268: Fusion of right 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 right 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 0RGE04Z

UNSPSC 85711268 Fusion of right sternoclavicular joint with internal fixation device, open approach (Commodity) does not reflect state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs—none of which involve sternoclavicular joint fusion or orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure descriptor and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests a taxonomy alignment error in the source data rather than a functional procurement category.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas and involve issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, county health systems, and county purchasing divisions. No two opportunities overlap substantively in scope or issuing body, and no single category or jurisdiction appears more than once. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms seeking to pursue work that aligns with the code's stated definition.
