UNSPSC 85662353: Division of left knee tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division 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 0L8R0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662353 Division of left knee tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope. The six recent opportunities posted to state and local procurement channels under this code—spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative health services, managed care programs, and staffing solutions rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. The code designation appears to reflect a tagging mismatch rather than genuine procurement demand for left knee tendon division procedures at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a municipality (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a regional health system (Santa Clara County Health System). No single issuer appears more than once, and no procurement signals a focus on surgical procedure procurement under this code. Given the absence of alignment between the code's surgical scope and the actual services being solicited—none of which involve orthopedic or surgical procedure procurement—this code does not warrant active pursuit for vendors in the orthopedic or surgical services space.
