UNSPSC 85711351: Repair left sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous 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 0RQF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85711351 Repair left sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures, yet the recent state and local contracting activity shows little alignment with that scope. The six solicitations posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, health plan surgical carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve sternoclavicular joint repair or operative orthopedic work. The issuing bodies represent a geographically dispersed mix of public sector health and human services: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The code appears to be applied by state and local procurement systems to health services more broadly rather than to the specific surgical procedure its UNSPSC designation denotes.

The most active recent solicitations under this code involve occupational medicine and administrative medical services rather than operative care. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 on August 25, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, requiring a licensed physician board-certified in occupational medicine to conduct baseline, periodic, and exit examinations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years beginning February 3, 2027. The geographic concentration shows California and Washington as the most active jurisdictions for recent solicitations, with secondary activity in Arizona, Texas, and Florida. The code's application in state and local procurement appears misaligned with its orthopedic surgical definition, signaling either systematic miscoding or use as a catch-all health services category — a risk signal for firms seeking true procedural or specialty surgery contracting opportunities.
