UNSPSC 85663437: Excision of left upper arm tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0LB40ZZ

UNSPSC 85663437 Excision of left upper arm tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not map to active procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—excision of tendon tissue through an open surgical approach—but the most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic or surgical procedures, and the mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the scope of work actually being procured suggests either a data-classification error or a code assignment that no longer reflects current buying activity. The sourced opportunities span jail healthcare contracts, county employee health plans, county employee virtual care, mental health services, and municipal emergency medical services—none of which involve surgical tendon excision.

The issuing bodies include a consolidated city government (Columbus, Georgia), county health agencies (Collier County, Monroe County, and San Mateo County in Florida and California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Because the code appears to carry little or no relevant recent procurement activity and the tagged opportunities address unrelated service categories, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and verify any future opportunities tagged under this code against the actual scope of work before allocating pursuit resources.
