UNSPSC 85661109: Supplement left abdomen tendon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left abdomen tendon with autologous tissue 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 0LUG07Z

UNSPSC 85661109 Supplement left abdomen tendon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code bear no relationship to the procedure itself. Instead, the opportunities cluster around occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension and disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tendon supplementation or tissue substitution. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope; the mismatch suggests potential miscoding in the underlying procurement database rather than genuine demand for the procedure under this taxonomy.

The six recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical records and independent examinations for public safety pension boards), the City of Long Beach (surgical centers of excellence for employee health plans), the Washington State Department of Transportation's ferry system (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 covered lives and $8.7 million in annual spending), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. None of these opportunities involve surgical supplementation or tissue grafting; the code appears to be a data artifact rather than an active procurement category at the state and local level. Pursuing opportunities under this code requires clarification from the relevant issuing body that the code assignment reflects actual work scope, as the current record indicates systematic misalignment.
