UNSPSC 85692317: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in sternum, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in sternum, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0PW04KZ

UNSPSC 85692317, Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in sternum, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code drawn from medical billing taxonomy—does not align with the recent solicitations tagged to it in the state and local market. The three recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance examinations (Washington State Department of Transportation), independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations (City of Phoenix), and temporary health professional staffing services (County of Santa Clara Health System)—none of which involve tissue substitutes or surgical procedures in the sternum. A fourth opportunity tagged to the code, a Request for Information from Harris County Juvenile Probation Department for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, also falls outside the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are using this medical procedure code to classify broader healthcare services or medical staffing needs, rather than purchasing the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

The recent activity shows issuing bodies clustered in three states—Washington, Arizona, California (Santa Clara County and Long Beach), and Texas (Harris County)—with no repeat buyers visible in the small sample. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825, posted August 25, 2026 with proposals due October 9, 2026, calls for occupational medical surveillance services by a physician board-certified in occupational medicine across 14 ferry system locations, with a two-year initial term and options to extend up to five additional years. The City of Phoenix's RTMRFP26001, posted September 16, 2026 with proposals due October 16, 2026, seeks independent medical evaluation services and disability record review for approximately 75 annual applications, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. Neither opportunity reflects procurement of medical devices, tissue products, or surgical services, and both entries suggest that the code assignment reflects administrative or systems miscategorization rather than genuine alignment with the commodity's intended scope.
