UNSPSC 85692440: Extirpation of matter from right rib, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right rib, 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 0PC14ZZ

UNSPSC 85692440 Extirpation of matter from right rib, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code tagged to state and local opportunities that do not align with the medical procedure described in the code name. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical networks, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve rib extraction or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement system or a data classification error that disconnects the UNSPSC designation from the work actually being solicited.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional authorities (County of Santa Clara Health System). Among the six recent opportunities in the source block, three carry identified response deadlines between early October and late October 2026, with geographic activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The absence of opportunities that genuinely match the code's nominal scope suggests that state and local buyers—or the systems that classify their requests—are not regularly purchasing rib extirpation services through formal solicitation, or that the code assignment reflects a system error rather than procurement intent. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether a jurisdictional procurement office has miscoded a healthcare services request or whether the code itself warrants investigation for misclassification in the state and local taxonomy.
