UNSPSC 85661113: Supplement left thorax tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left thorax tendon with nonautologous 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 0LUD0KZ

UNSPSC 85661113 Supplement left thorax tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local government procurement activity supported by recent solicitation data. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for tissue augmentation, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning July through September 2026—solicited occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these procurements involve tendon supplementation or surgical implant materials. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error at the source agency level or a systematic misalignment between the code assignment and the actual nature of the work being purchased.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. Given the absence of alignment between the code's surgical-procedure nomenclature and the actual scope of recent opportunities, this code should be approached with caution; confirm with the issuing body whether the code assignment reflects genuine procurement intent before pursuing qualification or response.
