UNSPSC 85713349: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left carpal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left carpal joint, 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 0RPR0KZ

UNSPSC 85713349 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left carpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it do not reflect the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health plan carve-outs for specialty procedures, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which align with orthopedic joint tissue removal. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the work its name suggests.

Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this Commodity code is not a reliable procurement category for business development targeting state and local surgical or orthopedic services.
