UNSPSC 85663528: Excision of right lower arm and wrist tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right lower arm and wrist 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 0LB53ZZ

UNSPSC 85663528 Excision of right lower arm and wrist tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure; recent state and local opportunities posted under this code cover occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve surgical excision of tendons. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or use of an incorrect UNSPSC designation by the issuing bodies.

The recent opportunities shown span three states: Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). A fourth opportunity comes from Harris County, Texas. These represent municipal, county, and state administrative bodies procuring healthcare administration, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — services unrelated to orthopedic surgery. No recent state or local opportunities in the source material involve procurement of actual surgical procedures or tendon excision services.
