UNSPSC 85711574: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0RPE4KZ

UNSPSC 85711574 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a material mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities filed under this code are general health services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — none involving orthopedic or surgical procedures on the sternoclavicular joint. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all medical services classification rather than for the specific surgical procedure its name describes.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and health systems: Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), the City of Phoenix (disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation for public safety pension boards), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing across 13 ancillary categories). Recent activity concentrates in California, Washington, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Representative current opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance with proposals due October 9, 2026, the City of Phoenix's RFP for disability medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect meaningful recent opportunities aligned with its stated surgical commodity definition and warrants verification against the correct classification before pursuing procurement under this designation.
