UNSPSC 85663737: Excision of left upper arm tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left upper arm tendon, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0LB44ZZ

UNSPSC 85663737 Excision of left upper arm tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code appears to describe a specific surgical procedure rather than a product or service category that state and local governments procure through standard competitive bidding. The recent opportunities tagged to this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county jail, pharmacy benefit management for a county workforce, virtual primary and urgent care for county employees, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — represent healthcare administration, management, and clinical staffing rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or the procurement of surgical services as a line item. None of the solicitations explicitly reference surgical excision, upper-extremity procedures, or endoscopic orthopedic techniques.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that UNSPSC 85663737 is not the appropriate code for any of these healthcare procurement categories. State and local governments do procure healthcare services — as shown by the Muscogee County Prison inmate medical contract (due May 15, 2026), Collier County pharmacy benefit management (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County virtual care services (due April 16, 2026) — but those services are better classified under healthcare administration and management codes. Practitioners evaluating this code should verify whether it appears in upcoming state or local RFPs related to orthopedic surgery, surgical supplies, or specialty medical procedures; the current recent-opportunities record does not support active procurement under this code.
