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 0PS10ZZ

UNSPSC 85691947 Reposition right rib, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's technical description—a surgical procedure involving repositioning of the right rib via open surgical approach—does not match the scope of work in the recent opportunities tagged under it. The most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block contains five postings: four involve procurement of healthcare services (inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction), while only one references any surgical or medical procedure content. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how jurisdictions have tagged these opportunities or a significant disconnect between the code's nominal scope and how it is being used in practice.

State and local governments are not currently soliciting surgical procedures under this code in any identifiable pattern. The opportunities posted—from Muscogee County Prison (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California)—involve contracting for healthcare delivery, management, and oversight services rather than procurement of surgical interventions or anatomical repositioning services. Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California, but the work being bought bears no relationship to the code's stated purpose. Unless state and local procurement offices begin using this code to tag requests for orthopedic surgical services, occupational health screening, or workplace injury treatment, the code presents limited business development opportunity.
