UNSPSC 85661143: Replacement of left thorax tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of 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 0LRD0KZ

UNSPSC 85661143 Replacement of left thorax tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that scope. The identified solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency healthcare for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue replacement. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed in practice to span a broader family of health services procurement, though the source does not clarify the intent. Issuing bodies include a state department of transportation (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), a municipal retirement office (Phoenix), and a city personnel office (Long Beach), reflecting typical health services buyers across state and local government.

The recent activity spans Washington State, California (Santa Clara and Long Beach), Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP due October 9, 2026 (with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026. The Washington and Long Beach opportunities carry response dates within the next two weeks as of the summary date, while the Phoenix opportunity is live. The source does not establish a repeat-buyer pattern under this code, and the scope divergence across opportunities suggests this UNSPSC designation may not be reliable for targeting related state and local procurement activity.
