UNSPSC 85692145: Reposition sternum with internal fixation device, percutaneous approach

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 that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure networks, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve sternum repositioning or orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement databases or use of this UNSPSC number as a placeholder within broader healthcare service contracts rather than as a descriptor of actual surgical commodity acquisition.

No representative recent opportunities exist for sternum repositioning devices or related orthopedic surgical procedures under this code. State and local healthcare purchasing in the recent record focuses on administrative and staffing functions—pension medical reviews, PBM administration, temporary provider placement, occupational surveillance, and network-based surgical carve-outs with Centers of Excellence—rather than procurement of internal fixation implants or surgical materials. Buyers include county retirement systems (Phoenix), municipal health authorities (Long Beach, Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington), county probation departments (Harris County), and county employee benefit consortia (Collier County). The geographic spread reflects Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida activity, but none of these solicitations addresses the device category that the UNSPSC code nominally describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes.
