UNSPSC 85711633: Fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with synthetic 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 synthetic 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 0RGF4JZ

UNSPSC 85711633 Fusion of left sternoclavicular joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged to it span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the procedure-specific taxonomy label. The mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied by issuing bodies or reflects a data-tagging artifact rather than a true category of state and local purchasing activity.

The recent opportunities instead reveal that state and local buying under this code tag encompasses medical administration, clinical staffing placement, and health plan management rather than orthopedic surgery carve-outs or joint fusion procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach sought proposals for a surgical benefits carve-out program (including but not limited to orthopedic procedures) due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Activity spans Arizona, California, and Washington; Harris County, Texas also posted an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual recent solicitations, the code does not represent a actionable procurement category for business development purposes at this time.
