UNSPSC 85692261: Division of sternum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division 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 0P803ZZ

UNSPSC 85692261 Division of sternum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — percutaneous sternal division — yet the five most recent opportunities posted under this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director recruitment. None of these opportunities involve sternal procedures, percutaneous or otherwise. The mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the health services, benefits administration, and administrative medical leadership being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual procurement activity tagged under this number.

The issuing bodies include a county consolidated government (Muscogee County, Georgia), a county board of county commissioners (Collier County, Florida), another county board of county commissioners (Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health and recovery services department (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Geographic spread covers Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Muscogee County Prison's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services with responses due May 15, 2026; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services with a response deadline of April 9, 2026; and Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care RFP with responses due April 16, 2026. This code appears to carry little relevance to substantive procurement activity and warrants clarification with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
