UNSPSC 85662157: Resection of left upper leg tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left upper leg 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 0LTM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662157 Resection of left upper leg tendon, open approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for orthopedic treatment; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code are in healthcare administration, benefits management, and emergency services — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. None of these opportunities involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tendon resection. The mismatch suggests a cataloging error rather than active procurement demand under the code's stated scope.

The recent opportunities show no pattern of solicitation activity aligned with surgical services or orthopedic procedures at the state and local level under this code. A business development professional evaluating pursuit should treat this code as dormant for substantive state and local procurement purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any relevant opportunity before committing resources.
