UNSPSC 85663325: Supplement right upper arm tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right upper arm tendon with synthetic substitute, 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 0LU30JZ

UNSPSC 85663325 Supplement right upper arm tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a surgical procedure for orthopedic medical device implantation; the recent opportunities tagged under this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, county pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. These solicitations bear no relationship to orthopedic surgical procedures or implantable devices. State and local governments are not using this code to procure upper arm tendon repairs or the synthetic materials they require.

The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC classification system and how these jurisdictions are tagging their health care and social services procurements. No recent opportunities directly relevant to the code's nominal scope appear in the available records. Firms pursuing orthopedic implant supply or surgical procedure contracts with state and local healthcare systems should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before targeting procurement opportunities, as this code does not reflect actual demand in the state and local market today.
