UNSPSC 85771237: Alteration of right lower arm, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of right lower arm, 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 0X0D0ZZ

UNSPSC 85771237 Alteration of right lower arm, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local government procurement activity recorded under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are health care service contracts—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve surgical alteration of an arm. The code shows a misalignment between its nominal scope (orthopedic or vascular surgical procedure) and the contracts actually solicited under the UNSPSC designation in state and local procurement systems.

The mismatch indicates either a data-entry error in the procurement system or an incorrect code assignment by the issuing bodies. Because the code's stated definition does not match the work being bought, the code carries no actionable signal for a business development professional pursuing surgical services or orthopedic supply contracts under this taxonomy. Health care services contracts are being sought by Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government), Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, San Mateo County Health, and the Santa Monica Fire Department across Georgia and Florida—but these opportunities are likely to be tagged correctly under health care delivery or management services codes rather than under a code designating a specific surgical procedure. Practitioners should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for health care services opportunities in these jurisdictions before pursuing or passing on them.
