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 0PW00JZ

UNSPSC 85691918 Revision of synthetic substitute in sternum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The six state and local opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged with this code — independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — do not map to orthopedic surgical procedures or synthetic sternal reconstruction. The code appears to be a mis-tagging artifact in the source opportunities database, suggesting that state and local procurement systems may be applying UNSPSC codes inconsistently or that the opportunities were entered with an incorrect code assignment.

Because the tagged opportunities do not reflect actual procurement activity under the code's intended scope, no representative solicitations, issuing bodies, or geographic concentrations can be reliably characterized for this Commodity code. Prospective vendors should verify the code's application in their target jurisdictions' procurement systems before investing in pursuit strategy or capability positioning.
