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 0PB00ZZ

UNSPSC 85692046 Excision of sternum, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it are healthcare services contracts unrelated to surgical excision — they cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures or sternum excision. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or use of this code as a catch-all for healthcare service categories that do not align with its surgical-procedure definition. No state or local opportunities authentically soliciting sternum-excision services appear in the recent record.

The healthcare services opportunities that are tagged to this code span multiple issuing bodies — county corrections departments (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia), county human resources and benefits departments (Collier County, Florida), county health departments (Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California) — but they are procurement actions for medical management, pharmacy administration, virtual care platforms, and peer support services, not surgical procedures. Geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California based on the recent postings. Without authentic sternum-excision solicitations in the record, no representative opportunities or response dates for work actually matching the code's nominal scope are available to report.
