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 0RWE4JZ

UNSPSC 85711523 Revision of synthetic substitute in right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code for a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect no purchasing activity aligned with this code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted under this UNSPSC instead span health benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic joint replacement surgery or implant procurement. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of healthcare administrative and staffing services in the recent solicitation record suggests the code is being applied inconsistently by issuing bodies or is not the appropriate taxonomy tier for state and local healthcare procurement in practice.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension disability evaluations), the City of Long Beach (employee health benefits carve-out), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single state or jurisdiction dominating. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals statewide (proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (proposals due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually in historical spend). Bidders should verify code alignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this UNSPSC, as the recent record shows little substantive activity in orthopedic implant or surgical procedure procurement.
