UNSPSC 85711459: Destruction of left sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0R5F3ZZ

UNSPSC 85711459 Destruction of left sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose abstract medical procedure name does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities reflect a mismatch: the code is tagged to solicitations for independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefits — none of which involve destruction of a sternoclavicular joint or orthopedic procedures specific to that anatomy. State and local buyers appear to be using this code as a catch-all classification for medical services procurement rather than for a narrowly defined surgical procedure, suggesting either miscoding in the source systems or a functional repurposing of the taxonomy at the local level.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county human resources and health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), and independent health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (RTMRFP26001); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington, with additional demand signals from Florida and Texas. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope and does not merit pursuit for firms specializing in orthopedic or joint destruction surgical services.
