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 0QBH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85703413 Excision of left tibia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code — independent medical evaluations for retirement disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — do not involve excision of tibia or other direct surgical procedures. This mismatch indicates a tagging error in the source data rather than genuine market activity for the procedure itself.

State and local procurement bodies do not typically solicit or contract for specific surgical procedures through UNSPSC codes at this level of granularity. If surgical services are procured, they are usually bundled within hospital or health system service contracts, managed care agreements, or employee health benefit carve-outs negotiated at a much higher level of abstraction. The code appears to be misapplied to administrative healthcare services and benefits management rather than to procedural orthopedic surgery, making it an unreliable indicator for business development targeting surgical procedure provision to state and local employers or public agencies.
