This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left upper arm tendon, percutaneous 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 0LC43ZZ

UNSPSC 85663521 Extirpation of matter from left upper arm tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's clinical procedure title does not align with the scope of the recent opportunities posted under it. The most substantial recent solicitation—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services—addresses disability benefit determinations for public safety retirees, not surgical procedures. The Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services covers periodic occupational health examinations across Washington ferries locations, again unrelated to the code's stated procedure. The City of Long Beach's surgery benefit carve-out proposal seeks vendors to manage Centers of Excellence networks for elective procedures including orthopedic and cardiac surgery, which differs materially from a specific tendon procedure code. Harris County Juvenile Probation's RFI for youth detention healthcare and the Collier County and Santa Clara County health system staffing requests similarly do not track to the code's nominal scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity under this code is limited to Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas, with no pattern of concentrated or repeated procurement by specific issuing bodies. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county probation departments, representing a fragmented and opportunistic tagging rather than organized demand. This code does not appear to reflect genuine state and local demand for the procedure it nominally describes; vendors evaluating coverage of this UNSPSC should verify whether their actual service or product line aligns with the code before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
