UNSPSC 85693413: Excision of left radius, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left radius, 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 0PBJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85693413 Excision of left radius, open approach (Commodity) does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a surgical procedure—the open removal of the left radius bone—which falls outside the scope of goods and services that state and local governments purchase through traditional procurement channels like RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect healthcare service contracts (inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction), none of which involve surgical excision procedures or align with the code's clinical nomenclature. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or an inappropriate code assignment by the issuing body.

State and local healthcare procurement activity does occur across multiple jurisdictions—Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica (California) all appear in the recent opportunities block—but none of these solicitations relate to surgical procedures or orthopedic excision services. Bidders should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignment before pursuing opportunities presented under this commodity designation.
