This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left sternoclavicular joint, open approach.

UNSPSC 85711275 Excision of left sternoclavicular joint, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical intervention — instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. The mismatch between the code's technical clinical name and the work actually being solicited suggests this code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or sees sporadic and tangential use. No opportunities in the source represent direct procurement of the sternoclavicular joint excision procedure itself.

The issuing bodies posting under or near this code span diverse public sectors: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension board medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit management), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County Board of Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. None of the recent opportunities represents a direct match to orthopedic surgical procedures. If pursuing activity under this code, treat it as a signal that state and local procurement systems may tag medical and health services broadly rather than by specific procedure, and confirm the actual scope of work in each RFP or RFQ rather than relying on the UNSPSC code title alone.
