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 0PN03ZZ

UNSPSC 85692230 Release sternum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a clinical surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged with this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve sternum-release procedures or percutaneous surgical approaches. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual buying activity reflected in recent opportunities suggests that this code's tagging by state and local procurement offices does not correspond to meaningful medical-device or surgical-service procurement in the public sector.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county correctional facilities (Muscogee County Prison via Columbus Consolidated Government), county benefits administration and human resources departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners), county behavioral health services (San Mateo County Health), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department). Geographic activity spans Florida (Collier and Monroe counties), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and municipal services in California. Recent representative opportunities include an RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government, due May 15, 2026), an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering 2,400 county employees and 4,800 covered members (Collier County, due April 9, 2026), and an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (Monroe County, due April 16, 2026). The disconnect between this code's procedural definition and the health-administration and primary-care services actually being procured indicates minimal genuine opportunity activity under this commodity classification.
