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 0PQ04ZZ

UNSPSC 85692405 Repair sternum, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the medical services actually being procured under this code tag. Recent solicitations tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical procedure carve-outs for government employee health plans, and information requests for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve repair of the sternum via percutaneous endoscopic approach or represent orthopedic or cardiothoracic surgical procedures. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or erroneously across diverse medical administration and health benefits contracting rather than to a specific clinical service line.

The issuing bodies include state health agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county systems (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and special-purpose public health authorities. Recent opportunities have been posted in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state or region. The most recent representative solicitations are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual contracting patterns, prospects should verify code assignment with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 85692405.
