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 0PS2XZZ

UNSPSC 85691823 Reposition left rib, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities tagged under it reflect a divergent mix of occupational health, disability medical evaluation, and healthcare benefit administration services. State and local bodies soliciting under this code include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county commissioners. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) requested occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. These solicitations reflect administrative and preventive healthcare purchasing rather than surgical procedure procurement, suggesting either a classification mismatch or inconsistent code assignment by issuing bodies.

Recent activity is concentrated in California, Washington, and Arizona, with isolated opportunities in Florida and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001), due October 16, 2026, budgets $750,000 over five years for medical record summary preparation and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations for approximately 75 annual disability applications. The Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825), due October 9, 2026, seeks occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 regional locations, with a two-year base term and optional five-year extensions. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052), due October 7, 2026, establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in thirteen ancillary health professional categories on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis with no guaranteed volume. The code shows no material activity that maps directly to surgical intervention or anatomical procedure work; the mismatch suggests that vendors should verify actual scope alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
