UNSPSC 85711368 Removal of synthetic substitute from left sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach, a Commodity code, shows little recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope. The code designation does not match the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement channels.

Recent state and local opportunities posted against this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention medical services. None of these categories involve orthopedic joint implant removal or related procedural work. The Washington State Department of Transportation and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office are among the issuing bodies active in this space, along with county health systems and county benefits consortiums, but the work they are procuring does not map to the code's clinical description. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, reflecting the states where the misaligned opportunities appear. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications due October 16, 2026 under an RFP; the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 under an RFP with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties, due October 7, 2026. This code does not currently reflect procurement demand for the orthopedic procedural services its taxonomy name suggests.
