UNSPSC 85692160: Replacement of sternum with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of sternum 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 0PR03JZ

UNSPSC 85692160 Replacement of sternum with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract activity tagged under it. The three opportunities posted since mid-August 2026—occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and temporary health professional staffing—involve no surgical implants, sternum replacement procedures, or percutaneous surgical approaches. The Phoenix Retirement Office RFP seeks disability medical record review and scheduling of independent examinations; the Washington State Ferries RFP requires baseline and periodic occupational health examinations by board-certified occupational medicine physicians; Santa Clara Health System is building a vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing including audiology, cardiology, radiology, and sterile processing. A fourth opportunity from Harris County Juvenile Probation seeks emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth, and a Collier County RFP addresses pharmacy benefit management—neither involving surgical procedures or implant supply.

The code shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. No state or local procurement offices appear to be soliciting sternum implants, surgical reconstruction supplies, or percutaneous surgical services in the opportunities presented. The mismatch between the code's clinical designation and the actual work being advertised suggests either misclassification in the source data or an absence of recent state and local demand for this specific procedure supply or service line.
