UNSPSC 85692246: Excision of sternum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0PB03ZZ

UNSPSC 85692246 Excision of sternum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — percutaneous removal of sternal bone — yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification involve jail and prison medical contracting, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care platforms, peer mental health support, and fire department medical directorship. None of these opportunities contemplate or reference the surgical procedure the code names. State and local jurisdictions use this code to tag healthcare administration and clinical management contracts rather than procedures themselves, creating a persistent mismatch between the code's formal definition and its actual procurement use at the state and local level.

The mix of recent opportunities reflects fragmented issuing bodies across multiple states and service types with no concentrated activity pattern. Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County, Georgia) issued an RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services with a May 15, 2026 proposal deadline; Collier County, Florida procured pharmacy benefit management services with an April 9, 2026 deadline; Monroe County, Florida sought virtual primary and urgent care services due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County, California issued an RFP for peer support services for peer workers with a July 2, 2025 deadline; and Santa Monica Fire Department, California sought a fire department medical director with an October 16, 2025 deadline. These represent distinct healthcare service lines across the public safety, county human resources, and behavioral health sectors in Georgia, Florida, and California. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, pursuit under this code carries substantial classification risk and offers limited value as a forward-looking procurement signal.
