UNSPSC 85691949: Reposition sternum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition sternum, 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 0PS00ZZ

UNSPSC 85691949 Reposition sternum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, emergency youth detention medical services, and related administrative healthcare functions—none of which directly involve sternum repositioning or orthopedic surgery. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied across a broad range of medical service procurement, or the tagging reflects administrative categorization practices that diverge from the code's surgical procedure scope.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities span Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. The most concrete opportunities are the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards (RFP due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance contract (RFP due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence (RFP due October 7, 2026). No recent solicitation directly addresses the code's nominal scope of sternum repositioning procedures; the code does not appear to be an active or well-matched category for current state and local procurement under this title.
