UNSPSC 85711378: Removal of internal fixation device from right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device 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 0RPE34Z

UNSPSC 85711378, Removal of internal fixation device from right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal clinical procedure scope. The posted opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical carve-out networks—none of which map to orthopedic surgical procedures or implant removal. This mismatch indicates either a classification error in the state and local procurement system or the code's use as a catch-all for medical services unrelated to its descriptor.

The few opportunities present span diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (occupational health surveillance), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing)—with no repeat buyers and no clear geographic concentration. The lack of relevant procurement activity under this code suggests it is not actively used by state and local governments for medical device procurement or orthopedic surgical services, or the taxonomy assignment is misaligned with actual buying patterns.
