UNSPSC 85711433: Fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0RGF3JZ

UNSPSC 85711433, Fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, medical record summarization for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve sternoclavicular joint fusion or synthetic joint implants. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the UNSPSC taxonomy is being applied inconsistently across jurisdictions. The code shows no recent solicitations actually requesting sternoclavicular joint fusion implants, surgical implant procurement, or related orthopedic devices and supplies.

The opportunities appearing under this code are geographically dispersed—Phoenix, Arizona; Long Beach, California; Washington State; Harris County, Texas; Collier County, Florida; and Santa Clara County, California—and involve multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal benefits procurement offices, state transportation departments, county probation departments, county human resources divisions, and county health systems. Because the recent opportunities do not align with the code's stated scope, this code does not present a reliable signal for business development targeting state and local procurement of sternoclavicular joint fusion procedures or related orthopedic implants.
