This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right rib with synthetic substitute, 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 0PR14JZ

UNSPSC 85692357 Replacement of right rib with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code soliciting in the period August–October 2026 involve independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing — none of which correspond to orthopedic rib-replacement procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement databases or that the code has been repurposed as a catch-all for medical services broadly rather than retained for its original narrow scope.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health departments and employee benefits (City of Long Beach, Collier County Human Resources), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county public health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county procurement on behalf of healthcare consortia (Collier County Board of Commissioners). Recent activity appears concentrated in California (Santa Clara County), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Florida (Collier County, City of Long Beach), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (WSDOT). No procurement under this code reflects the orthopedic surgical procedures the Commodity nominally names. Prospective vendors should verify code alignment with their capabilities before pursuit, as the current application of this code in state and local sourcing does not reflect its taxonomy definition.
