UNSPSC 85663359: Replacement of right lower arm and wrist tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right lower arm and wrist 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 0LR50JZ

UNSPSC 85663359, Replacement of right lower arm and wrist tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—orthopedic tendon replacement—yet the recent opportunities posted under it concern occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension-disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, and medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the procurement of surgical implants, tendon-replacement supplies, or operative materials. The mismatch indicates either a classification error in the source data or an artifact of broad-brush coding that does not reflect actual buying patterns.

The code shows no relevant recent state and local procurement opportunities and therefore no meaningful geographic concentration, issuing-body mix, or market activity to assess. Firms pursuing orthopedic implant and surgical-material sales to state and local healthcare entities should verify coding accuracy with the issuing procurement office and consider repositioning activity under UNSPSC codes tied to medical devices, implants, or surgical supplies rather than a specific procedure code.
