UNSPSC 85711569 Removal of spacer from left sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not align with orthopedic surgical procedure coding; instead, they reflect medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services — none of which match the procedure-specific descriptor in the code name.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a tagging error in the source records or that this Commodity code does not reflect active state and local purchasing patterns. State and local bodies do procure medical services, but the opportunities appearing here (occupational medical examinations for ferry employees in Washington, disability medical evaluations for fire and police pension boards in Arizona, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs for city employees in California, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple specialties in California) are administrative, occupational-health, or staffing-related rather than procedure-specific. No recent solicitations for the specific orthopedic procedure described in the code are present in the available records.
