UNSPSC 85691830: Repair sternum, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0PQ0XZZ

UNSPSC 85691830 Repair sternum, external approach (Commodity) shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the six recent solicitations posted across state and local jurisdictions between July and September 2026 address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record summarization, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve sternum repair or orthopedic surgery at the procedure level. The mismatch suggests this code has been applied to medical-administration and healthcare-staffing opportunities without substantive connection to the specific surgical intervention the code names.

No representative opportunities directly procure sternum repair services or related surgical capabilities under this code. State and local procurement activity under this UNSPSC code does not support a meaningful business-development recommendation at this time. The available opportunities reflect healthcare service administration and staffing rather than orthopedic surgical procedures, indicating either misclassification of opportunities or dormancy in actual procurement demand for sternum repair services at the state and local level.
