This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left rib with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85692154 Replacement of left rib with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its medical procedural title and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve rib replacement or orthopedic implant procurement; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical care coordination — administrative and service functions unrelated to the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state health and transportation departments, county health systems and benefits administrators, cities managing employee pension and benefits programs, and county juvenile justice authorities. This suggests the code may have been misapplied in tagging procurement notices, or the tagging reflects a broader administrative categorization that does not track the surgical procedure itself.

The recent opportunities are geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach posted HR26753 for a surgical benefits carve-out program, due October 7, 2026; Collier County posted RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management, with historical spending around $8.7 million annually; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing qualifications, due October 7, 2026; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope of a specific orthopedic surgical procedure.
