This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left thorax 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 0LUD07Z

UNSPSC 85661115 Supplement left thorax tendon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code, however, show no alignment with orthopedic or surgical-tissue services. Instead, the code appears in procurement records for independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tendon supplementation or surgical procedures. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county human resources and health systems (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). The work actually being purchased includes medical record review and disability benefit evaluation services, occupational medicine surveillance and compliance examinations, pharmacy claims processing and formulary management, and ancillary clinical staffing placement.

Recent activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with a single Harris County, Texas inquiry. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, proposals due October 9, 2026, with a two-year initial term and optional five-year extensions; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary ancillary clinical staffing in 13 health professional categories, due October 7, 2026, as a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the posted opportunities reflect administrative health services and staffing procurement, not the surgical procedure the code nominally describes.
