This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0RCF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85711443 Extirpation of matter from left sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity tagged under it in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific joint, yet recent solicitations tagged to this code request medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with orthopedic surgery or joint procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement databases or a fundamental misalignment between the code's taxonomy definition and its practical use by issuing bodies.

Recent opportunities show activity across health systems and local government purchasing offices in Arizona, California, and Washington, but the work being solicited bears no coherent relationship to the code's stated scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach sought a surgical benefit carve-out program with Centers of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary ancillary clinical staffing across thirteen health professional categories (due October 7, 2026). This code shows little actionable recent activity for vendors in orthopedic surgery, joint procedures, or the specific procedure the code nominally describes.
