UNSPSC 85692245: Excision of right rib, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0PB13ZZ

UNSPSC 85692245 Excision of right rib, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve comprehensive health plan administration, facility-based inmate medical services, virtual primary care delivery, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involves rib excision or percutaneous surgical procedures. The code appears to be either a data-classification error or a misalignment in how posting systems have tagged opportunities unrelated to the commodity's surgical nature. State and local procurement offices issuing these opportunities—including Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California)—are acquiring ongoing healthcare administration and staffing services rather than orthopedic or thoracic surgical interventions.

Recent activity includes Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, due May 15, 2026, spanning medical intake, chronic care management, emergency referrals, and formulary oversight; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees with approximately $8.7 million in annual historical spending, due April 9, 2026; Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services totaling $580,000 over three years; and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director, due October 16, 2025. Given the mismatch between the code's stated commodity and all recent solicitation content, firms evaluating this code should verify whether the intended procurement family or class code was misapplied before committing resources to pursuit.
