UNSPSC 85771859: Alteration of left upper extremity with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left upper extremity with synthetic substitute, 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 0X070JZ

UNSPSC 85771859 Alteration of left upper extremity with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical alteration of the left upper extremity or medical device implantation. The code appears to reflect a medical procedure classification that does not align with typical state and local government purchasing patterns.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations posted under it suggests either a data-tagging error in the source system or that this Commodity code sits within a broader healthcare services family where state and local procurement offices are applying it inconsistently. Business development professionals should verify the code's applicability against their specific service offering before investing pursuit effort. If your firm provides orthopedic surgical services, upper-extremity prosthetics, or related medical devices to state and local health systems or employee health plans, monitor this code for future activity, but rely on alternative classification codes or direct outreach to health system procurement offices for current opportunity identification.
