UNSPSC 85703403: Extirpation of matter from left tibia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter 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 0QCH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85703403 Extirpation of matter from left tibia, open approach (Commodity) does not align with state and local procurement activity actually being conducted under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability pension medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency youth detention medical services—none of which involve surgical removal of material from the tibia or orthopedic surgical procedures at all. The code's nominal description reflects a specific surgical procedure, yet the opportunities posted against it span occupational health screening, administrative medical coordination, and healthcare plan administration. This represents a substantial mismatch between the code taxonomy and the work state and local governments are actually buying under it.

The source provides no evidence of coherent procurement activity under the stated Commodity code. The issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara Health System—are purchasing healthcare administrative services and staffing, not orthopedic surgery or surgical extraction procedures. Without a genuine recent-opportunity sample aligned to the code's actual scope, no reliable characterization of issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, or purchasing patterns can be drawn from these records. Code users should verify whether this Commodity classification is correctly applied to future opportunities or whether these solicitations should be remapped to healthcare administration or occupational medicine service codes.
