UNSPSC 85660000: Surgical interventions or procedures of tendons

This family of surgical interventions or procedures is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS as code 0L Tendons.

UNSPSC 85660000 Surgical interventions or procedures of tendons is a Family code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect healthcare administration and service delivery—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—rather than actual surgical procedures on tendons. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and what state and local agencies are actually purchasing under this taxonomy entry. None of the five recent opportunities involve surgical interventions, orthopedic procedures, or tendon repair work.

The opportunities instead span correctional health systems, county employee benefits administration, municipal emergency medical services oversight, and behavioral health support services, issued by Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California). Response dates range from April 2026 to July 2025, with contract values disclosed only for the San Mateo peer support project ($580,000 across three years) and the Collier County pharmacy benefit management historically spending approximately $8.7 million annually. Because the code's taxonomy label does not align with the work actually being bought, this code shows little actionable activity for vendors pursuing surgical procedures, orthopedic supplies, or related tendon-intervention services at the state and local level.
