UNSPSC 85692156: Replacement of right rib with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right rib with nonautologous tissue 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 0PR13KZ

UNSPSC 85692156 Replacement of right rib with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care coordination, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The code designation appears to be a misclassification in the procurement systems of the issuing bodies.

The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure name and the actual services being procured suggests that state and local procurement offices may be applying this code incorrectly to broader healthcare administration and staffing categories. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a state transit authority (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee-benefit administrators (City of Long Beach). No geographic clustering or repeat buyers emerge from the opportunities, and no single representative solicitation aligns with the code's stated scope. This code warrants a skip decision unless your firm operates within occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit administration, or healthcare staffing — categories for which this Commodity code is a poor taxonomic fit.
