UNSPSC 85663524: Extirpation of matter from right shoulder tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right shoulder 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 0LC13ZZ

UNSPSC 85663524 Extirpation of matter from right shoulder tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the recent state and local contract opportunities identified in the dataset. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — the percutaneous removal of material from the right shoulder tendon — yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these opportunities involve the procedural work the code nominally describes.

The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code tier is being used as a catch-all category for health-related services broadly rather than as a discrete procedure-level commodity. No recent state and local opportunities specifically solicit surgical extirpation services, implying the code either sees no active procurement at the state and local level or is being applied inconsistently by issuing bodies. State and local procurement professionals pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual scope of work against the Commodity definition before responding to any notice, as the posted opportunities do not reflect the code's stated scope.
