UNSPSC 85711352: Repair right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right 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 0RQE3ZZ

UNSPSC 85711352 Repair right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The five recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services at a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical repair or percutaneous joint procedures; the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical intervention—does not align with what state and local buyers are actually requesting under this classification. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement data or a categorical misalignment that limits the code's utility for tracking actual surgical or procedural contracting activity at the state and local level.

The recent opportunities do reveal active state and local healthcare procurement across multiple issuing bodies, including county corrections, county human resources and health plan administration, county employee health plans, county behavioral health departments, and municipal fire departments, predominantly in Florida, Georgia, and California. However, these represent general healthcare service procurement rather than the orthopedic surgical services nominally described by the code. Practitioners seeking state and local work in surgical repair services or joint procedures should verify whether a different UNSPSC code better reflects current procurement intent, as this Commodity code does not currently support decision-making for that market segment.
