This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 0RBE4ZZ

UNSPSC 85711648, Excision of right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not correspond to the work actually being solicited in recent state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it—independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks for health plans, specialty and emergency medical services in a youth detention setting, and temporary health professional staffing—span healthcare administration, benefits management, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing rather than orthopedic surgery or any discrete surgical intervention. The mismatch between the code's procedural title and the scope of actual procurement indicates either a cataloging error in the source data or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local buyers tag healthcare services solicitations.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative opportunities include the Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026, contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027); and the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional five one-year extensions). Because the code's nominal scope bears no meaningful connection to the work being procured, pursuit under this code is not recommended without clarification of the correct UNSPSC classification.
