UNSPSC 85692235: Insertion of internal fixation device into sternum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into 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 0PH034Z

UNSPSC 85692235 Insertion of internal fixation device into sternum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect healthcare services procurement — including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction — rather than orthopedic surgical devices or sternal fixation procedures. State and local governments are not currently soliciting sternum fixation implants or related surgical hardware under this code; instead, they are procuring comprehensive healthcare administration, clinical service delivery, and medical management contracts through county governments, municipal fire departments, and county health authorities in Florida, Georgia, and California.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual recent activity indicates that this Commodity code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for businesses pursuing state and local contracts. The opportunities present—Columbus Consolidated Government's medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison (RFP due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (RFP due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services (RFP due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's peer support pilot program, and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director services—are all healthcare contracting vehicles that fall outside orthopedic device supply or surgical implant procurement. Unless state and local healthcare procurement offices begin systematically tagging medical device tenders with this code, activity under UNSPSC 85692235 at the state and local level remains absent from current market signals.
