UNSPSC 85661316: Extirpation of matter from right thorax tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right thorax tendon, percutaneous 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 0LCC3ZZ

UNSPSC 85661316 Extirpation of matter from right thorax tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure on thoracic tendons performed percutaneously, but the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, health plan benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, youth detention healthcare services, and surgical center-of-excellence networks—none of which relate to thoracic tendon procedures.

The mismatch appears systematic: four of six recent opportunities involve medical administration, staffing coordination, or benefit plan management rather than surgical intervention. The only procurement mentioning surgical procedures at all—the City of Long Beach's carve-out for Centers of Excellence—covers voluntary enrollment in bundled surgical networks for knee, hip, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures, not thoracic tendon work. The code's assignment to these opportunities suggests a classification error in the source data rather than a genuine commodity family in state and local procurement. No decision-relevant activity exists under this code's actual scope.
