UNSPSC 85782816: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left lower extremity, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left lower extremity, external 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 0YPBXKZ

UNSPSC 85782816 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left lower extremity, external approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity does not align with the code's clinical scope. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical center networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for youth in custody — none of which involve the removal of tissue substitutes from the lower extremity.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. The mismatch between the narrow clinical procedure named in the code and the broad population-health and benefits-administration work appearing in the recent-opportunities block suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or a definitional gap in how some jurisdictions tag medical services contracts. Business development professionals should treat this code's apparent activity as unreliable and verify directly with issuing bodies whether future lower-extremity surgical-device removal work will appear under this code or be retagged to a broader medical services classification.
