UNSPSC 85693405: Extirpation of matter from left humeral shaft, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left humeral shaft, 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 0PCG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85693405 Extirpation of matter from left humeral shaft, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic or surgical procedures; instead, they cover occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health plan surgery carve-outs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. The code's abstract classification as a specific surgical intervention does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying in current solicitations.

The geographic spread of the mismatched opportunities spans multiple states and regions: Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). No clear pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated issuing-body types emerges from these examples. Given the disconnect between the code's surgical procedure name and the substance of recent opportunities, practitioners should treat this code as inactive for practical procurement purposes and verify coding accuracy when evaluating actual opportunities before committing resources.
