UNSPSC 85711640: Fusion of right sternoclavicular joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right sternoclavicular joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RGE44Z

UNSPSC 85711640 Fusion of right sternoclavicular joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no substantive recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect administrative and occupational health services, medical staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and pension disability evaluations—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or implant devices. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-classification error or that state and local bodies are applying this code outside its intended domain. State and local government procurement does engage with orthopedic and surgical services through health plans, employee benefits programs, and occupational safety frameworks, but the opportunities tagged to this particular code do not reflect procurement of fusion procedures or related surgical implants.

The issuing bodies in the recent sample—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System—span municipal, county, state, and regional health authorities across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. None of these solicitations target orthopedic surgery, surgical devices, or joint fusion services. Practitioners evaluating this code for business development should treat it as currently inactive for practical state and local procurement purposes and monitor for future shifts in how this code is deployed by procurement offices.
