UNSPSC 85711444: Extirpation of matter from right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0RCE3ZZ

UNSPSC 85711444 Extirpation of matter from right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code's clinical procedure title bears no relation to the services state and local governments are currently buying under this tag. Recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management administration, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic joint procedures. This classification mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement system or a systematic tagging problem that prevents this code from serving as a reliable signal for procurement activity.

The source shows no relevant recent opportunities aligned with the code's stated scope. The issuing bodies in the records span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems, but their solicitations address administrative healthcare services, employee benefits management, and occupational health compliance — not surgical interventions. Given the complete divergence between the code definition and the work posted under it, pursuit of this code would require either direct clarification from the issuing procurement office about the classification or a shift to monitoring the actual service categories (occupational medicine, healthcare staffing, benefits administration) under their correct UNSPSC codes.
