UNSPSC 85711375 Removal of synthetic substitute from right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no connection to orthopedic medical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code's nominal clinical specificity (a surgical removal procedure on a specific joint) bears no relationship to the scope of administrative, staffing, and program-management services state and local procurement offices are actually purchasing under this taxonomy entry. This represents a systematic mismatch between code assignment and procurement reality.

The issuing bodies include a state ferry system (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System). Recent opportunities close between October 7 and October 16, 2026, with geographic activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Given the absence of relevant medical procedure procurement under this code and the clear administrative-services orientation of all recent opportunities, vendors should treat this code as dormant for state and local orthopedic or procedural contracting and verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities posted under this number.
