UNSPSC 85711272: Extirpation of matter from right sternoclavicular joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0RCE0ZZ

UNSPSC 85711272, Extirpation of matter from right sternoclavicular joint, open approach (Commodity), shows minimal alignment between its clinical code designation and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect no orthopedic surgical procedures or joint-manipulation services; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional temporary staffing, surgical carve-out benefit administration, and emergency healthcare services for youth in detention. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the mix of administrative health services, benefits contracting, and staffing procurement appearing in the recent record.

The issuing bodies span a state transportation department, county health systems, municipal retirement offices, county probation, and county benefits administration, suggesting the code is being applied inconsistently or as a default classification for health-related procurements broadly. Geographic activity includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services in disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for the orthopedic surgical procedure it nominally describes, and pursuing opportunities under this classification would require significant reconciliation with actual scope documents to confirm alignment with surgical capabilities.
