UNSPSC 85711525: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue substitute in right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RWE47Z

UNSPSC 85711525, Revision of autologous tissue substitute in right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), shows no meaningful alignment between its nominal scope — a highly specific orthopedic surgical procedure code — and the actual state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, temporary ancillary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these solicitations involve autologous tissue revision or sternoclavicular joint procedures, and most do not concern orthopedic surgery at all.

The mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in the state and local procurement database or that this Commodity code is being used as a catch-all for medical and health services outside its intended scope. The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), multiple cities and counties (Phoenix, Long Beach, Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and specialized public bodies (ferry system, detention authority, pension boards). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Given the absence of opportunities legitimately purchasing sternoclavicular joint revision procedures, this code warrants monitoring for corrective recoding rather than active pursuit.
