UNSPSC 85711453: Drainage of left sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0R9F3ZZ

UNSPSC 85711453 Drainage of left sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for joint drainage, but the recent solicitations tagged under it address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve sternoclavicular joint drainage or percutaneous orthopedic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or the code's misapplication to broader medical services contracts.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—the Washington State Department of Transportation (for occupational medical surveillance), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for pension boards), the City of Long Beach (employee health plan surgical benefits), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth). Geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, and Texas. Given the divergence between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured, this code shows little relevant activity for firms pursuing orthopedic joint drainage services or related surgical procedures under state and local contracts.
