UNSPSC 85691938: Resection of left rib, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left rib, open 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 0PT20ZZ

UNSPSC 85691938 Resection of left rib, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect procurement of comprehensive medical and healthcare management services — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical resection procedures or operative interventions.

The mismatch between the code's scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or is not actively used in state and local procurement for its intended purpose. No recent solicitation in the block requests surgical services, surgical supplies, or operative care. State and local healthcare procurement under this code shows no relevant recent activity.
