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 0PN24ZZ

UNSPSC 85692428 Release left rib, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it do not align with the code's clinical procedure scope. The opportunities reflect procurement of healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support programs, and medical directorship roles—none of which involve the specific orthopedic or thoracic procedure named in the code. State and local procurement systems occasionally misclassify opportunities at the commodity level, and this code shows little relevant recent activity for surgical procedure procurement or related medical equipment and supplies that would logically fall under the nominal code description.

The five most recent opportunities in the dataset span Georgia (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management and Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care), California (San Mateo County peer support for peer workers), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department medical director services). These solicitations represent county commissioners' offices, consolidated city governments, county health departments, and municipal fire departments—a broad cross-section of issuing bodies—but none directly purchase the release-left-rib procedure or related surgical supplies or equipment. The mismatch between the code's title and the actual buying activity posted under it suggests this code may not be a reliable indicator of state and local procurement demand in the relevant service or product category.
