UNSPSC 85711377: Removal of autologous 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 autologous 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 0RPE37Z

UNSPSC 85711377, Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—removal of tissue substitute from a joint—yet the recent solicitations tagged under it request independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and specialty surgical procedure carve-outs through centers of excellence. None of these procurements involve the surgical procedure the code nominates.

The mismatch reflects a systematic coding error in the source data rather than legitimate procurement activity. State and local buyers have no recent demonstrated need for removal of autologous tissue substitute from the right sternoclavicular joint under this code. Vendors pursuing activity in medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, or surgical benefit programs should verify the correct UNSPSC classification and treat this code as inactive for contracting purposes.
