UNSPSC 85662225: Replacement of left upper leg tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left upper leg tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0LRM0KZ

UNSPSC 85662225 "Replacement of left upper leg tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations show no alignment with the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities being procured are occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute the surgical procedure this code names.

The mismatch between the code's scope and the recent opportunities suggests that the tagging is either a data error or reflects a broader misclassification pattern. State and local procurement activity under this code number does not currently support business development focus. Vendors should verify UNSPSC coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code, as the substantive work being bought falls outside the orthopedic surgical domain.
