UNSPSC 85661141: Replacement of right abdomen tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right abdomen tendon with synthetic 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 0LRF0JZ

UNSPSC 85661141 Replacement of right abdomen tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code title describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits management through Centers of Excellence, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing placement, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, and independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement determinations. None of these solicitations involve abdominal tendon replacement or implantable medical devices. The mismatch suggests either incorrect code tagging by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the code's intended scope and how jurisdictions are using it in practice.

The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the absence of procurement activity actually related to abdominal tendon replacement or surgical implants, firms pursuing this code should verify whether issuing bodies have systematically miscoded their health services procurements, or whether the code itself requires review for applicability to state and local buying patterns.
