This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from sternum, 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 0PP037Z

UNSPSC 85692224 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from sternum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, shows a significant mismatch between its medical procedure nomenclature and actual procurement practice. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve surgical removal of autologous tissue substitutes; instead, they span occupational health medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional temporary staffing, surgical care-out benefit program administration, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities align with the specific percutaneous surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity in the scope it purports to cover.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and boards (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix). Geographic spread reflects recent activity in Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for examinations across 14 Washington ferry locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's disability medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's assignment to these health-services procurement activities appears to reflect administrative or data-entry error rather than alignment with its stated medical procedure scope.
