This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left hand tendon with nonautologous tissue 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 0LR80KZ

UNSPSC 85663349 Replacement of left hand tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The six posted opportunities in the source block—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary clinical staffing services—fall entirely outside the orthopedic surgical procedure scope the code nominally describes. State and local governments do not procure specific surgical procedures or surgical techniques through competitive solicitation; they contract for health plan administration, occupational health programs, medical evaluation services, and clinical staffing.

The mismatch between code name and actual procurement activity suggests either a data-entry error in the original UNSPSC tagging or a misclassification in the indexing system. Business development professionals evaluating this code should not pursue it as a market for surgical device supply, implant distribution, or surgical services contracting. The opportunities present—primarily in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington—represent health services administration and staffing, which fall under different UNSPSC families and commodities. Verify the correct code classification before allocating pursuit resources.
