UNSPSC 85711418: Insertion of spacer into right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RHE38Z

UNSPSC 85711418 Insertion of spacer into right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The six posted opportunities from August through September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involves orthopedic joint spacer insertion procedures or related surgical implants. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code sees little or no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The opportunities posted do reflect substantial medical and health-services procurement across multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (employee health benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency medical services), Collier County (pharmacy administration), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary staffing). Geographic concentration appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear indication that orthopedic implant procurement or joint spacer procedures represent a category of state and local spend. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether UNSPSC 85711418 is correctly assigned in their target opportunity pipeline or whether a different code tier better captures the surgical implant or procedural work being pursued.
