UNSPSC 85691950: Reposition sternum with internal fixation device, open approach

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 shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope of orthopedic surgical procedures. The six opportunities in the recent-opportunities block span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none involving sternal repositioning or orthopedic implant procurement. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry misaligned with state and local government purchasing patterns, which do not typically procure individual surgical procedures or implant devices under UNSPSC coding.

State and local jurisdictions buying under this code are not identifiable from the source material. The recent opportunities reflect municipal health benefits procurement (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state occupational health programs (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health administration (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and clinical staffing — none of which map to the sternal fixation code. Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but this distribution reflects broader health services procurement rather than concentration in any code-specific market. No representative recent opportunities exist that would serve as a buying signal under this code.
