UNSPSC 85663429: Extirpation of matter from left upper arm tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left upper arm 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 0LC40ZZ

UNSPSC 85663429 Extirpation of matter from left upper arm tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on the upper arm—does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations span medical administration, healthcare benefit program design, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing—none of which correspond to the surgical intervention the code purports to describe.

The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or an artifact of how state and local procurement systems tag health services contracts. The issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement boards (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), reflecting broad demand for health services administration and clinical staffing across state departments, counties, and special-purpose health districts. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Texas, Washington, and Florida. A business development professional evaluating this code should verify whether the UNSPSC classification is accurate to their firm's service offerings before pursuing opportunities listed under this number.
