UNSPSC 85703103: Resection of left tibia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left tibia, 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 0QTH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85703103 Resection of left tibia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no substantive alignment with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or tibial resection. The mismatch suggests the code was applied to these opportunities in error or reflects a data classification artifact rather than actual procurement demand for the surgical service the code nominates.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), along with a regional health system. The geographic spread covers Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. No recent solicitations specifically solicit orthopedic surgical procedures, surgical implants, or resection services that would align with the code's stated scope; pursuit under this code designation carries significant risk of misalignment with actual buyer intent.
