UNSPSC 85661142 Replacement of right abdomen tendon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — orthopedic tissue replacement — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect administrative, occupational health, benefit management, and staffing services unrelated to surgical intervention.

The source shows no recent state and local contracts actually soliciting orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue replacement services. Instead, issuing bodies have tagged opportunities under this code for independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out management (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), youth detention healthcare (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). The code appears to be a miscategorization by the source jurisdictions rather than a reflection of actual purchasing behavior under the surgical procedure nomenclature the code describes. Firms pursuing state and local work in occupational medicine, disability evaluation, benefits administration, or temporary clinical staffing should verify the applicable UNSPSC code through direct contact with issuing procurement offices rather than relying on this code as a reliable signal.
