UNSPSC 85782817: Removal of synthetic substitute from left lower extremity, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic 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 0YPBXJZ

UNSPSC 85782817, Removal of synthetic substitute from left lower extremity, external approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity among state and local procurement bodies. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the procurement opportunities posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara). These opportunities span medical administration, health plan management, and clinical staffing—none of which constitutes the orthopedic procedure described in the code's name.

State and local procurement offices appear to use this code as a classification catch-all for health services rather than as a specific-procedure procurement vehicle. No opportunities solicit the removal of prosthetics or synthetic extremity components. The geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington reflects institutional health purchasing rather than procedure-specific procurement. Unless this code's administrative classification changes or a specific-procedure solicitation emerges, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for targeted pursuit and focus instead on the broader health services codes under which these same bodies actually issue RFPs and RFQs.
