UNSPSC 85711660: Destruction of right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0R5E4ZZ

UNSPSC 85711660 Destruction of right sternoclavicular joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local posting activity, does not reflect actual procurement. The three recent opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), surgical procedure carve-out networks (City of Long Beach), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara). None of these solicitations concern orthopedic joint destruction procedures or any procedure-specific surgical service; they address medical administration, benefit management, occupational health compliance, and staffing. The code classification appears to be a data-entry or system mismatch rather than an accurate descriptor of the work state and local governments are buying.

Because the code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the actual opportunities posted under it, state and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 85711660 is not reliably characterized by this Commodity code. Vendors pursuing state and local medical and health-related opportunities should monitor codes linked to occupational medicine services, benefits administration, temporary staffing, and specialty care networks rather than rely on this orthopedic procedure code for market signals.
