UNSPSC 85693271: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left humeral head, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left humeral head, 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 0PPD0KZ

UNSPSC 85693271 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left humeral head, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code is nominally surgical in scope, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it in the source material bear no relationship to orthopedic implant removal or surgical procedures. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), independent disability medical evaluations (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), specialty medical carve-out networks for public employees (Long Beach), emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth (Harris County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these procurements involve implant removal or the specific surgical intervention the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data classification error or that state and local procurement offices are using this Commodity code as a catch-all for medical services without regard to its surgical specificity. If you are pursuing orthopedic implant removal contracts with state or local health systems, this code does not appear to be the reliable procurement vector that its title would suggest. Monitor for future activity, but do not rely on this code to surface relevant surgical procurement opportunities in state and local markets.
