UNSPSC 85703104: Resection of right tibia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of right 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 0QTG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85703104 Resection of right tibia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—the surgical removal of the right shin bone via open incision—but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not align with this clinical scope. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency services for youth in detention. None of these services involve orthopedic surgical procedures or the procedural work the code name describes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal content and the work actually being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all tag for medical services broadly rather than as a precise classifier for orthopedic surgery. The issuing bodies include county health systems, city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation, and county human resources offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No recent opportunities specifically solicit surgical providers, operative orthopedic capacity, or procedural surgical teams. Until the code shows activity that reflects its stated scope—contracted surgical teams, operative facility management, or implant-supply bundling for tibia resection cases—the code does not represent a distinct procurement opportunity for firms specializing in orthopedic surgical services.
