This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 0LC30ZZ

UNSPSC 85663430 Extirpation of matter from right upper arm tendon, open approach (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code. The recent solicitations span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical extirpation procedures on extremity tendons. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal surgical-procedure scope and the administrative and operational healthcare contracting work that issuers have actually tagged to it in recent months.

State and local issuers posting under this code include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal pension authorities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). The geographic spread spans Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona, with no single jurisdiction appearing more than once in the recent opportunity set. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited, this code does not present a reliable procurement signal for firms offering orthopedic or surgical services.
