This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right 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 0LS50ZZ

UNSPSC 85663344 Reposition right lower arm and wrist tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the opportunities posted against it in the recent record. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach requested a surgical carve-out benefit program managing Centers of Excellence networks for multiple procedure types; the Washington State Department of Transportation contracted for occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara Health System established a temporary staffing pool for ancillary clinical roles. None of these solicitations procures the discrete orthopedic procedure named in the code.

The mismatch suggests that either the code was applied incorrectly by the issuing bodies posting these opportunities, or the opportunities were aggregated under this code without regard to procedure-level specificity. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit individual surgical procedures as line-item contracts; they procure medical services frameworks, staffing, benefits administration, or network management. The code may see activity when health plans or public hospital systems bid out orthopedic service agreements, but the recent record does not support current demand under this specific code.
