UNSPSC 85782369: Alteration of right upper leg with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of right upper leg 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 0Y0C0JZ

UNSPSC 85782369 Alteration of right upper leg with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at the highest specificity tier of the UNSPSC hierarchy, yet recent state and local procurement activity shows little direct alignment with this orthopedic surgical-procedure classification. The opportunities posted under this code over the past three months reflect a mismatch: they solicit medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which describe orthopedic implant procedures or surgical alteration services. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all administrative classification rather than targeting actual surgical supply, device, or procedural contracting, which is the work the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies tagged to this code span health system administrators, counties, and a state transportation agency: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluation), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), Santa Clara County Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing), and Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance). Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration of orthopedic-procedure-specific solicitations. Given the divergence between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC tier or commodity code before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification — the code does not signal active procurement of orthopedic surgical services, devices, or related consumables at the state and local level.
