UNSPSC 85711608: Inspection of right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of 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 0RJE4ZZ

UNSPSC 85711608 Inspection of right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but recent state and local contract opportunities show little activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's title references a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it involve occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve sternoclavicular joint inspection or endoscopic procedures. This mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities in procurement systems or misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local agencies are tagging their medical services solicitations.

The recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits, due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management services, due April 9, 2026). Geographic coverage spans Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. Given the disconnect between the code's procedural specificity and the broader health services and occupational medicine activities actually being solicited, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement opportunity pool for vendors pursuing orthopedic surgical services.
