UNSPSC 85692023: Removal of synthetic substitute from sternum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0PP00JZ

UNSPSC 85692023 Removal of synthetic substitute from sternum, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the scope of recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for surgical procedures or implant removal; instead, the tagged records describe occupational medical examinations, disability benefit medical record summaries, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the code's nominal clinical procedure scope. The code shows little relevant recent state and local activity under its intended definition.

The mismatch between the code name and the actual content of recent opportunities suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this particular code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for its defined surgical service. Business development professionals should verify the appropriate UNSPSC classification for any target opportunity before pursuing work; reliance on this code alone will not surface authentic demand for sternotomy revision procedures or related cardiothoracic services in state and local procurement.
