UNSPSC 85711374: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0RPE3KZ

UNSPSC 85711374 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span general healthcare administration, occupational health, and benefits procurement. None involve orthopedic implant removal or joint surgery procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work solicited suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or use of this code as a generic health services classifier where no more precise code exists in their taxonomy. State and local procurement offices—including city retirement systems (Phoenix), municipal health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), and county governments (Collier County)—are actively buying general healthcare and benefits administration services, but not the specific surgical procedure named in this code.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police pension disability evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical benefits, Santa Clara temporary staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy management), Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services), and Washington (state ferry occupational health). No single state or jurisdiction dominates the recent activity, and the issuing bodies range across city retirement offices, municipal employee benefits programs, state agencies, and county health systems. The geographic and organizational fragmentation, combined with the disconnect between code name and actual procurement content, indicates that this code is not a reliable classifier for business development targeting in state and local healthcare procurement.
