UNSPSC 85691828: Repair left rib, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left 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 0PQ2XZZ

UNSPSC 85691828 Repair left rib, external approach is a Commodity code that does not match the scope of actual state and local procurement activity currently solicited under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical care—none of which constitute surgical rib repair or orthopedic procedural services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) and the state and local opportunities now posted under it suggests either a classification error in the original tagging or a divergence between the code's intent and current usage in state and local procurement systems.

Recent activity shows no solicitations for actual rib repair or related orthopedic surgical services. The opportunities listed—City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; City of Long Beach seeking surgical benefit carve-out program proposals due October 7, 2026; Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026—are fundamentally administrative health-care, staffing, or benefits-management procurements, not clinical procedural services. Without evidence of state and local government soliciting actual rib repair or related surgical procedures under this code, the code shows no actionable market activity for the work its name describes.
