UNSPSC 85651470: Removal of synthetic substitute from upper muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from upper muscle, 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 0KPX4JZ

UNSPSC 85651470 Removal of synthetic substitute from upper muscle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its clinical nomenclature. The code does not describe goods or services state and local governments actually buy under current procurement practice. Recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect medical services procurement unrelated to orthopedic implant removal — specifically independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve removal of synthetic substitutes from muscle tissue or address the percutaneous endoscopic procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between code scope and actual buying suggests either miscoding of opportunities by issuing bodies or misalignment between this UNSPSC taxonomy entry and current state and local medical procurement practice. The opportunities present span issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Without recent opportunities genuinely soliciting the procedure named in the code, this Commodity code presents no clear procurement signal for vendors offering orthopedic implant removal services to state and local bodies.
