UNSPSC 85692360: Replacement of sternum with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of sternum 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 0PR04JZ

UNSPSC 85692360 Replacement of sternum with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, bears no meaningful connection to the work being procured. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure for sternum replacement, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code solicit occupational medical surveillance services, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve sternum replacement or orthopedic implants. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its taxonomy definition, and the mismatch between code assignment and actual scope suggests either classification error in the state and local procurement systems or use of this code as a placeholder for broader healthcare services procurement.

The geographic spread of the six opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (WSDOT Washington State Ferries), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Issuing bodies include county governments, state agencies, and municipal health systems. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed volume).
