This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition sternum with internal fixation device, 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 0PS004Z

UNSPSC 85691950 Reposition sternum with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical medical devices or orthopedic hardware. Instead, the code shows activity in correctional healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction — a pattern that indicates significant misalignment between the code's abstract name and the work actually being solicited. No recent opportunities support procurement of sternal fixation devices or open surgical approaches at the state or local level under this code.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span county corrections authorities (Muscogee County, Georgia), county benefits administration (Collier County, Florida), county employee health plans (Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health services (San Mateo County, California), and municipal emergency medical services (Santa Monica Fire Department, California). The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (RFP, due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (RFP, due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (RFP, due April 16, 2026). The code's activity does not align with its nominal scope and offers limited relevance to vendors in surgical device, orthopedic hardware, or sternum fixation markets.
