UNSPSC 85662959: Change other device in upper tendon, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to change other device in upper tendon, external 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 0L2XXYZ

UNSPSC 85662959 Change other device in upper tendon, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving upper-tendon device exchange via external approach—does not align with the state and local health-care and human-services solicitations posted under it in recent months. The opportunities tagged with this code include comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county jail, pharmacy benefit management for a county health consortium, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations procure surgical devices or procedures matching the code's technical description, suggesting a tagging mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual scope of work being bought.

The recent activity identified spans four states—Georgia, Florida (two counties), and California—but reflects healthcare administration, care coordination, and behavioral health support rather than medical devices or surgical consumables. Issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, and Monroe County in Florida; San Mateo County in California), a city fire department (Santa Monica), and county health departments. No repeat buyers or sustained procurement patterns emerge under this code. Given the mismatch between the code's surgical-device scope and the healthcare-services and management activity actually being solicited, the code does not represent a meaningful market signal for vendors in medical devices, orthopedic supplies, or surgical equipment. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for the health-care and benefits-management services described in these opportunities.
