UNSPSC 85661216: Reattachment of right thorax tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of right thorax tendon, 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 0LMC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85661216 Reattachment of right thorax tendon, open approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted against this code involve occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit network management, pharmacy benefit administration, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to be a procedural billing or clinical classification that does not translate meaningfully to public-sector procurement categories.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit programs for employees and retirees), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing). Recent activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, with opportunities spanning municipal HR benefits administration, state occupational health, county detention healthcare, and regional health system staffing. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) solicited independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under a five-year $750,000 maximum contract; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) requested occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System issued a multiple-award qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with responses due October 7, 2026. The code's apparent mismatch with posted procurement suggests either a tagging error in the underlying opportunities or a discontinuity between the UNSPSC clinical procedure classification and state and local purchasing practice.
