UNSPSC 85711434 Fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the six most recent opportunities tagged with this code involve independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the orthopedic surgical procedure the code names. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for health-related services rather than for the specific joint-fusion procedure it describes, signaling either a systematic tagging mismatch or misalignment between the code's clinical scope and how jurisdictions classify healthcare procurement in practice.

The issuing bodies using this code span city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County), county benefits administration (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara). Recent opportunities originate from Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with solicitation types including RFP, RFI, and RFQ formats. Representative recent work includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring with board-certified occupational medicine requirement). Given the code-to-scope mismatch across all posted opportunities, pursuing this code requires clarification from the issuing jurisdiction about whether the actual buying need aligns with your service offerings.
