UNSPSC 85662933: Replacement of perineum tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of perineum 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 0LRH4KZ

UNSPSC 85662933, Replacement of perineum tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—span occupational health, employee benefits administration, and general healthcare delivery. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue-replacement interventions. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to health-services procurement opportunities that bear no relationship to the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies across recent postings include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county human resources divisions, and county juvenile justice departments. Geographic activity appears in Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. Given the mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited, this code does not represent a viable market segment for vendors pursuing state and local health-services contracts. Procurement professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities posted under this classification.
