UNSPSC 85711632: Fusion of 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 fusion of 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 0RGF4KZ

UNSPSC 85711632 Fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal surgical procedure classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and juvenile detention healthcare services—none of which involve joint fusion procedures or the orthopedic surgical intervention the code describes. This mismatch suggests either a data classification error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities or that the code is not actively used by state and local buyers for its intended scope.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and departments (Santa Clara County, Collier County, Harris County), a city retirement office (Phoenix), and a city benefits procurement office (Long Beach), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. No state and local government appears to be actively procuring orthopedic fusion procedures or related surgical supplies under this code in the recent posting cycle. Given the disconnect between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited, practitioners should verify proper UNSPSC classification before investing development effort in this category.
