UNSPSC 85691819: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in sternum, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue substitute in sternum, external 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 0PW0X7Z

UNSPSC 85691819 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in sternum, external approach (Commodity) shows a mismatch between its nominal scope — a highly specialized orthopedic surgical procedure — and the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The solicitations instead reflect health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits evaluation, and temporary clinical staffing; none involve autologous tissue revision or sternum procedures. This code appears to have little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement, with the tagged opportunities representing administrative and staffing services rather than the surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking disability medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's ferries division is procuring occupational medical surveillance across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Additional opportunities from Harris County, the City of Long Beach, and Collier County target emergency and specialty medical services, surgical care networks, and pharmacy benefit management respectively. These represent typical state and local government health-related purchasing — benefits administration, occupational health compliance, workforce staffing, and network development — but bear no substantive connection to the surgical tissue revision work the UNSPSC code describes.
