This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition sternum with internal fixation device, 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 0PS034Z

UNSPSC 85692145 Reposition sternum with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect orthopedic or surgical services. Instead, the posting activity shows general healthcare contracting — inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. The code shows a mismatch between its surgical-procedure name and the broader healthcare administration and service delivery work that state and local procurement offices are actually tagging and soliciting under it. State and local issuers purchasing medical services, including counties, municipalities, special districts, and county health agencies, are posting opportunities under this code, though the work being procured bears no relation to sternal repositioning or orthopedic fixation.

Recent activity spans multiple states and includes Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department (Muscogee County Prison, Georgia) soliciting comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services via RFP due May 15, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) seeking pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 total covered members via RFP due April 9, 2026; Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issuing an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services covering approximately 2,300 county members due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (California) posting an RFP for peer support services for peer workers with total funding of $580,000; and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) seeking a physician medical director via RFP. The geographic distribution includes Georgia, Florida, and California. No recent opportunities reflect the code's nominal surgical scope, suggesting either systematic miscoding or a data-quality issue that warrants clarification before pursuing business under this code category.
