This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left sternoclavicular joint with drainage 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 0R9F40Z

UNSPSC 85711654 Drainage of left sternoclavicular joint with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities in the source record are soliciting medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which correspond to orthopedic drainage procedures or related surgical interventions. The code appears to have been applied to opportunities in administrative healthcare functions (retirement disability determinations, occupational medicine compliance, employee health benefits administration) rather than clinical procedure delivery or surgical services procurement.

Activity under this code spans multiple issuing bodies including city retirement boards and pension authorities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), municipal employee health programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county procurement for employee benefits (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry system locations statewide (due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award with no guaranteed volume); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026, historical annual pharmacy spending approximately $8.7 million). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the activities being solicited suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that this particular Commodity code is not the appropriate classification for current state and local medical procurement. Vendors evaluating this code should verify the actual scope with individual issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
