This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer 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 0RPE38Z

UNSPSC 85711376, Removal of spacer from right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local contract activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code—including independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not align with procurement of this procedure or related medical devices. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in state and local systems or that the code is not being used to solicit this type of work in public procurement.

State and local procurement officers should not expect to see active bidding opportunities under this code based on current activity patterns. The opportunities appearing in the recent-solicitations block span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida and reflect broader health services administration and staffing needs rather than requests for orthopedic joint implants, procedural supplies, or related medical equipment or services. If your firm supplies sternoclavicular spacers or related fixation devices to healthcare providers, consider monitoring higher-tier UNSPSC codes covering medical device distribution or hospital supplies rather than this Commodity code.
