UNSPSC 85711535: Supplement left sternoclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left sternoclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RUF4KZ

UNSPSC 85711535 Supplement left sternoclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but the source shows little relevant recent activity under it. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or joint supplementation. Instead, they address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs through centers of excellence, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations align with the code's nominal scope of surgical joint replacement or repair with synthetic tissue substitutes.

Given the complete mismatch between the code's specified clinical procedure and the medical and health-service offerings in the recent opportunities block, this code does not appear to reflect active procurement in state and local markets. The taxonomy classification itself may not correspond to how state and local health agencies classify or solicit for the specific orthopedic procedure this code names. Vendors pursuing state and local public health, detention healthcare, occupational medicine, or employee benefits work should verify that opportunities relevant to their service lines are tagged to UNSPSC codes that accurately describe the clinical, administrative, or staffing scope being solicited, rather than rely on this code's specification.
