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 0PS14ZZ

UNSPSC 85692342 Reposition right rib, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure classification and the state and local opportunities actually posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged with this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the specific surgical procedure the code names. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catchall for health services contracting rather than as a descriptor of a particular surgical technique, suggesting either misclassification in the tagging process or a fundamental disconnect between the code's scope and how jurisdictions are applying it in practice.

The issuing bodies span city and county health systems, human resources departments, and specialized boards: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System. Recent activity clusters in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with posting dates from late July through mid-September 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's $750,000 five-year RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code's recent activity reflects health services administration and staffing rather than operative orthopedic procedures, indicating the code is functioning as a fallback classification for health services procurement that does not align neatly with traditional UNSPSC medical-procedure taxonomy.
