UNSPSC 85692359: Replacement of sternum with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of sternum with nonautologous tissue 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 0PR04KZ

UNSPSC 85692359 Replacement of sternum with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its nominal scope—a highly specialized surgical procedure involving sternum replacement—and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The source contains six recent solicitations, none of which involve sternum replacement or orthopedic implant procurement; instead, they cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit program administration, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code exhibits a significant misclassification issue within state and local procurement systems.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any single state. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a proposal due date of October 16, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management services with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the absence of any recent opportunities involving sternum replacement devices, implants, or related surgical consumables, this code does not currently represent a viable procurement category for vendors pursuing state and local government business in the orthopedic implant or specialty surgical supply space.
