UNSPSC 85652824: Extirpation of matter from right upper leg muscle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right upper leg muscle, open 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 0KCQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85652824 Extirpation of matter from right upper leg muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The code's nominal medical-procedure scope does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have all posted solicitations tagged to this code, but their actual work spans independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which correspond to orthopedic surgical procedures on the thigh muscle.

This classification mismatch suggests that the code may have been applied incorrectly by the issuing bodies or that the code in the taxonomy does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying. Prospective vendors should verify code alignment with specific opportunities before pursuing, as the nominal scope of the commodity does not track the recent procurement activity attributed to it.
