UNSPSC 85692240: Extirpation of matter from right rib, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right rib, 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 0PC13ZZ

UNSPSC 85692240 Extirpation of matter from right rib, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful connection to the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty and emergency healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve rib extirpation or percutaneous surgical procedures. The source shows no recent state and local contract opportunities that actually involve the procedure named in the code.

This classification mismatch suggests either a systematic taxonomy error in how the opportunities were tagged or incomplete code mapping by the procurement offices that posted them. State and local buyers should verify the applicable UNSPSC codes before responding to any of these solicitations, as the code as stated does not reflect the work being solicited.
