This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer left lower arm and wrist 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 0LX60ZZ

UNSPSC 85663303 Transfer left lower arm and wrist tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical medical-procedure naming does not align with the actual work being solicited under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures on the lower arm or wrist. The source contains no solicitations for actual orthopedic surgery services, surgical supplies, physician reimbursement for tendon-transfer procedures, or related clinical outcomes tied to this specific intervention.

State and local procurement activity under this code lacks meaningful recent volume or clear issuing-body patterns. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (general emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing). This distribution suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously across administrative health services, benefits management, and clinical staffing that fall outside the code's intended orthopedic-surgical scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms focused on actual lower-extremity orthopedic surgery, surgical implants, or related physician services in the state and local market.
