UNSPSC 85693241: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left ulna, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left ulna, 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 0PPL0KZ

UNSPSC 85693241 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left ulna, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local opportunities do not reflect procurement activity aligned with this code's clinical scope. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employees, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concern surgical removal of tissue substitutes or orthopedic procedural work. The code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buyer behavior suggests either tag application error by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code does not reflect how state and local governments structure medical and surgical procurement. Issuing bodies appear to frame health-care service acquisition at the program or vendor-pool level — managing benefits, staffing networks, and care coordination — rather than at the procedure-code level. Unless recent opportunities tagged under this code are consistently corrected or activity emerges showing genuine procurement of tissue-substitute removal services, the code warrants low priority for business development pursuit in state and local markets.
