UNSPSC 85663300: Tendons-upper extremities, open approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 19 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the tendons of the upper extremities with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0L.

UNSPSC 85663300 Tendons—upper extremities, open approach—part A is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The five recent opportunities posted under this code—covering inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—do not align with the code's nominal scope of surgical tendon repair or reconstruction. The code appears to be a mismatch with the work actually being bought by these jurisdictions, which spans managed healthcare services, behavioral health support, and medical administration rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or related medical devices.

No state and local solicitations matching the code's actual medical-device or surgical-service scope appear in the recent opportunities block. The classification suggests a data-quality issue in how these opportunities were tagged by issuing bodies, rather than active procurement demand for tendon-repair materials or services at the state and local level.
