UNSPSC 85691966 Replacement of sternum with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve sternum replacement procedures or autologous tissue substitutes. The code appears to have been applied to these solicitations in error or as a catch-all taxonomy assignment within health services procurement rather than reflecting the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

State and local buyers posting under this code include county pension boards (Phoenix), municipal health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county benefits administrators (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, with response dates clustering in October 2026. Without genuine opportunities matching the code's surgical scope, prospective vendors in sternum replacement or orthopedic tissue banking should not assume this code signals actionable demand; instead, they should monitor related orthopedic and surgical procedure codes or query state procurement offices directly about surgical supply and implant categorization practices.
