UNSPSC 85692446: Excision of sternum, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0PB04ZZ

UNSPSC 85692446 Excision of sternum, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually procuring. The recent opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with surgical procedures or surgical services; instead, they document requests for healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care delivery, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical intervention on the sternum or any surgical procedure. The code appears to be a classification error in the posting systems rather than an accurate descriptor of state and local procurement activity in this commodity category.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies including county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; and San Mateo County, California) and municipal departments (Santa Monica Fire Department, California), with activities centered in Florida and California. Representative solicitations include Muscogee County's RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for a 576-inmate facility with proposals due May 15, 2026; Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million and a proposal deadline of April 9, 2026; and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members with an April 16, 2026 submission deadline. Because the code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relationship to what these jurisdictions are purchasing, the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local healthcare or surgical service contracts.
