UNSPSC 85782953: Alteration of left lower extremity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left lower extremity, 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 0Y0B0ZZ

UNSPSC 85782953 Alteration of left lower extremity, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical or clinical alteration services for lower extremity conditions. Instead, the posted solicitations span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve the operative or procedural scope the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's clinical taxonomy and the actual work being solicited suggests either tagging error or that state and local jurisdictions are repurposing this Commodity code for broader healthcare procurement when more appropriate codes are unavailable.

The recent opportunities originate from three states: Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government's Muscogee County Prison, RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026); Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026; and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, RFP for virtual primary and urgent care, due April 16, 2026); and California (San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, RFP 2025-007 for peer support, due July 2, 2025). One opportunity is from a municipal department outside state and local health systems: Santa Monica Fire Department, seeking a medical director, due October 16, 2025. The issuing bodies include county human resources and health departments, county corrections, and municipal fire services. No repeat buyers appear in the block. Given the code's nominal scope and the absence of relevant recent solicitations for surgical alteration services, this code shows little current relevance to lower extremity procedural contracting at the state and local level.
