UNSPSC 85692117: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in sternum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in sternum, percutaneous 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 0PW03KZ

UNSPSC 85692117 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in sternum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving tissue grafting—does not match the kinds of services state and local governments are currently soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody; none of these services involve sternum tissue revision procedures or surgical intervention at the procedure level. The issuing bodies include county human resources and health departments, city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, and regional health systems across multiple states. The code appears to be a categorization mismatch rather than active procurement in the code's stated scope.

Recent opportunities under UNSPSC 85692117 include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance contract for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with extension options), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program for Center of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026, two-year initial term with renewal options targeting April 2027 go-live), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive five-year vehicle). Activity spans California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. The code's current use does not support pursuit targeting tissue-substitution surgical services; vendors should verify coding accuracy in RFP documentation before responding, as the listed opportunities reflect administrative and occupational health services rather than operative procedure lines.
