UNSPSC 85661417: Supplement right thorax tendon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right thorax tendon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0LUC4JZ

UNSPSC 85661417 "Supplement right thorax tendon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving orthopedic tendon repair; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not procure that service. Instead, the opportunities address medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit program administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve tendon supplementation or the orthopedic procedure the code name specifies. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county procurement divisions across multiple jurisdictions.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), though the code shows minimal activity genuinely aligned with its stated commodity. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's application to these opportunities appears to be a categorization error rather than an accurate representation of procurement activity, making pursuit under this code unlikely to yield relevant opportunities in tendon repair or related orthopedic surgical services.
