UNSPSC 85692039: Extirpation of matter from left rib, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left rib, 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 0PC20ZZ

UNSPSC 85692039 Extirpation of matter from left rib, open approach is a Commodity code for which the recent state and local procurement activity shows no alignment with the code's nominal clinical scope. The most recent opportunities posted under this code — a Phoenix Retirement Office medical evaluation RFP for disability benefit determinations, a Long Beach city health plan surgical carve-out RFP, a Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP, a Harris County juvenile detention medical services RFI, a Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP, and a Santa Clara County health professional staffing pool — address occupational medicine, employee benefits administration, pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing, none of which correspond to surgical extirpation procedures. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington), counties (Harris, Collier, Santa Clara), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), indicating the code is being applied to health and benefits administration rather than surgical interventions.

Recent activity appears scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington with no geographic concentration. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing surgical or procedural work; the mismatch between the code's clinical nomenclature and the actual procurement content — which centers on occupational health programs, medical evaluation services for benefits adjudication, pharmacy administration, and temporary staffing — suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data artifact. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their service offerings before pursuing opportunities under this code.
