UNSPSC 85711437: Fusion of right sternoclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right sternoclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue 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 0RGE3KZ

UNSPSC 85711437 Fusion of right sternoclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure code derived from medical taxonomy; however, recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth—none of which align with orthopedic joint fusion procedures or surgical implants. The mismatch suggests the code is being applied inconsistently across state and local procurement systems, or that the source data reflects a tagging error rather than genuine market activity in joint fusion services or related medical devices and implant supplies.

The most recent opportunities in the block—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out administration (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026)—are administrative health benefit services and occupational health programs rather than orthopedic surgery procurement. Issuers span state departments, county health systems, cities, and transit authorities across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Given the absence of actual joint fusion surgery or implant procurement in the recent opportunities, this code does not represent a meaningful pursuit opportunity at this time.
