UNSPSC 85711403: Release left sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left 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 0RNF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85711403 Release left sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code bear no substantive relationship to that scope. The opportunities posted include comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management services for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgery, joint release procedures, or percutaneous approaches to sternoclavicular joints. The mismatch between the code's nominal description and the actual work being solicited suggests either a systematic classification error in the posting system or that this code is being used as a catchall for health services procurement unrelated to its intended scope.

The issuing bodies span county government procurement offices (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, and Monroe County in Florida), a county behavioral health agency (San Mateo County Health in California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department in California). Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and California, with one Georgia posting. The solicitations range from RFPs with May 2026 deadlines (Muscogee County inmate medical services, due May 15, 2026) to earlier postings with deadlines that have passed (San Mateo County peer support, originally due July 2, 2025; Santa Monica Fire Department medical director, originally due October 16, 2025). The Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP, posted April 9, 2026, with a same-day deadline and annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million, represents the most substantial procurement signal. Given the code's misalignment with posted opportunities, this category warrants caution; pursue only if your firm operates in behavioral health services, correctional health, municipal EMS oversight, or employee health plan administration, as the orthopedic surgical procedure scope appears dormant or misclassified in the state and local system.
