UNSPSC 85661419: Supplement left trunk tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left trunk tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0LUB4KZ

UNSPSC 85661419 Supplement left trunk tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that reflects a specific surgical procedure classification, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tendon supplementation. This code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors seeking to pursue state and local procurement in the surgical implant or musculoskeletal procedure space.

The geographic spread of the mismatched opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, city employee benefits divisions, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation, county human resources departments, and county health systems. The absence of opportunities that reflect the code's actual clinical scope suggests either that this UNSPSC classification is rarely used by state and local procurement offices for medical device or surgical-procedure contracting, or that the code has been incorrectly applied to non-surgical health services opportunities in the state and local environment.
