UNSPSC 85692425: Removal of internal fixation device from sternum, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from sternum, 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 0PP044Z

UNSPSC 85692425 Removal of internal fixation device from sternum, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for sternal hardware removal, yet the five most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve correctional healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, mental health peer support, and fire department medical direction — none of which align with the surgical intervention the code names. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this particular Commodity code is not actively used to procure the procedure it describes within state and local contracting. Without opportunities that actually solicit sternal fixation removal services, no concrete framing of purchasing patterns, issuing-body types, or geographic concentration can be drawn from the source.

No recent state and local solicitations for internal fixation device removal from sternum under this code are present in the available data. A business development professional evaluating this Commodity code should treat the current signal as inactive and verify whether state and local healthcare and correctional purchasing actually uses this code for orthopedic or surgical hardware procurement, or whether equivalent procedures are classified elsewhere within the UNSPSC taxonomy.
