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 0PP13KZ

UNSPSC 85692218 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right rib, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. Recent solicitations posted by state and local bodies target occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these procurements involve the removal of tissue substitutes from ribs or related procedural services. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the broader healthcare administration and staffing services actually being solicited indicates either tagging error or that this code is not actively used for state and local procurement at present.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—and cover occupational health surveillance, pension-related medical record reviews and independent examinations, employee health benefits administration, specialty pharmaceutical management, and ancillary clinical staffing. No pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated geographic activity emerges from these records, and none directly addresses surgical procedures or tissue management. Firms evaluating this code should confirm the accuracy of its assignment before committing pursuit resources.
