UNSPSC 85663335: Resection of left lower arm and wrist tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of 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 0LT60ZZ

UNSPSC 85663335 Resection of left lower arm and wrist tendon, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which involve surgical resection of arm or wrist tendons. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source material or use of this code as a catch-all for medical services procurement that does not align with the code's clinical descriptor.

The geographic spread of activity across these opportunities includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), though the opportunities themselves address operational medical services, benefits administration, and staffing — work plainly distant from orthopedic surgery. No meaningful opportunity profile exists under this code's actual scope.
