UNSPSC 85692430: Release sternum, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0PN04ZZ

UNSPSC 85692430 Release sternum, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with little alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code reflect administrative medical services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which map to the code's stated scope of performing or procuring percutaneous endoscopic sternum procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding during opportunity posting or use of this code as a catch-all for health services categories without a more precise commodity designation.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, issued by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering 4,800 members, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool across 13 ancillary categories, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows activity among city, county, state, and regional health system bodies, but no procurement under this code reflects actual sternum-release procedures or related surgical supplies and instruments. Pursuit should be reassessed pending clarification of the code's intended scope or vendor recoding in issuing offices.
