UNSPSC 85691963: Replacement of right rib with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right rib with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0PR107Z

UNSPSC 85691963 Replacement of right rib with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving rib replacement using autologous tissue, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic rib procedures. Instead, issuing bodies have tagged the code to solicit independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—work that spans medical record review, provider network management, occupational health examinations, and clinical staffing but does not include the procedure the code name describes.

The geographic spread across recent postings includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with issuers ranging from municipal retirement offices and county procurement divisions to state transportation departments and health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferries personnel across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026, with evaluation weighted 40 percent cost and 60 percent non-cost factors). The code shows no recent activity directly purchasing or billing for surgical procedures matching the Commodity code definition, suggesting either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and its use in state and local procurement databases.
