UNSPSC 85703252: Removal of synthetic substitute from left tibia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0QPH0JZ

UNSPSC 85703252 Removal of synthetic substitute from left tibia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on a named anatomical site—does not align with the state and local healthcare contracting opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities in the dataset reflect broader healthcare service procurement (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 orthopedic prosthetic removal or related implant management. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code has been repurposed in state and local procurement systems to capture healthcare services more broadly, a pattern that breaks the code's intended specificity as an orthopedic procedure line item.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code tag span county corrections systems (Muscogee County, Georgia), county human resources and benefits administration (Collier County, Florida), county employee health plans (Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Activity is distributed across California, Florida, and Georgia, with no concentration in a single region. Given the apparent mismatch between the code's title and the work actually being procured, the code itself is not a reliable filter for orthopedic implant or surgical services—business development professionals should rely on direct RFP monitoring or alternative UNSPSC codes focused on medical supplies, healthcare administration, or behavioral health services rather than this Commodity code.
