UNSPSC 85711448: Excision of right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0RBE3ZZ

UNSPSC 85711448 (Excision of right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in detention. None of these solicitations involve sternoclavicular joint excision or procedures of that clinical specificity. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to these opportunities, or the code is used as a catch-all tag for health services procurement that does not align with its procedural definition.

The recent activity spans multiple issuing bodies—a city retirement office (Phoenix), a city health authority (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara County, California)—with no concentration among repeat buyers. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's procedural definition and the health-administration and occupational-health services actually being solicited, the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing work aligned with its nominal scope.
