UNSPSC 85691824: Reposition right rib, 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 0PS1XZZ

UNSPSC 85691824 Reposition right rib, external approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment between its nominal surgical scope and the state and local government work actually being solicited. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic or thoracic surgical procedures. Instead, they span comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve rib repositioning or orthopedic surgery. The issuing bodies are county governments and municipal departments procuring healthcare administration, benefits management, and emergency medical services oversight. This code appears to be a taxonomic mislabeling in the state and local procurement databases, as the actual solicitations concern clinical governance, administrative healthcare services, and managed-care program delivery rather than surgical procedures.

Georgia and Florida dominate the recent activity, with the Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services, RFP due May 15, 2026, for an estimated $95,537.71 monthly commitment), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, RFP due April 9, 2026, managing approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending), and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services, RFP due April 16, 2026) all posting in 2026. Additional opportunities include San Mateo County, California (peer support services for behavioral health workers, $580,000 over three years) and Santa Monica Fire Department, California (medical director services). The code shows no substantive activity in its stated surgical domain and appears poorly suited for business development targeting surgical services — prospective vendors should verify code alignment with actual procurement content before pursuing opportunities marked under this taxonomy entry.
