UNSPSC 85662153: Resection of left knee tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left knee tendon, 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 0LTR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662153 Resection of left knee tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the five most recent opportunities tagged under it — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for a county self-funded plan, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — bear no connection to orthopedic surgery or knee tendon procedures. This mismatch between code and solicited work suggests either misclassification at the point of posting or a structural gap in how the state and local procurement universe applies medical/surgical procedure codes to broader health services contracts.

State and local jurisdictions do procure healthcare services — medical direction, pharmacy management, virtual care platforms, and inmate medical services — but those purchases are not tracked under surgical procedure codes. If you pursue health services opportunities in state and local government, monitor family-level codes under healthcare administration and management rather than procedure-specific commodity codes. The code as currently applied does not signal actionable procurement activity.
