UNSPSC 85692128: Supplement left rib with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left rib with synthetic substitute, 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 0PU23JZ

UNSPSC 85692128 Supplement left rib with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — percutaneous left rib supplementation using synthetic material — but the six recent opportunities posted under or tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations are purchasing left rib surgical procedures or related implants and supplies.

The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source system or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical scope and how state and local procurement offices are using the classification. The recent opportunities show genuine activity — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for disability medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested proposals for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners solicited Pharmacy Benefit Management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) — but these contracts concern administrative health services, occupational health programs, pharmacy management, and staffing, not orthopedic surgical procedures. Business development firms should treat this code as dormant for direct procurement purposes and rely on more granular codes aligned with health services administration and occupational medicine if pursuing state and local health-system contracting.
