UNSPSC 85692343: Reposition right rib with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right rib with internal fixation device, 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 0PS144Z

UNSPSC 85692343 Reposition right rib with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the state and local contract opportunities currently posted under this code. The recent solicitations capture medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these activities involve rib repositioning or internal fixation device placement. The mismatch indicates either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual work being solicited. State and local governments show no recent activity under this code that matches its published definition.

The issuing bodies currently tagging opportunities to this code span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county procurement offices (Collier County). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no pattern suggesting sustained procurement under the code's nominal scope. Recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summaries and independent medical evaluations (due October 16, 2026), WSDOT's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026), Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary clinical staffing (due October 7, 2026), and Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-outs under an Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026). The code should be monitored only if pursuing administrative healthcare services, clinical staffing, or occupational medicine—not orthopedic surgical devices or procedures.
