UNSPSC 85661448: Replacement of right thorax tendon with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right thorax tendon with autologous tissue 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 0LRC47Z

UNSPSC 85661448 Replacement of right thorax tendon with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve thorax tendon replacement procedures or surgical intervention at the individual-patient clinical level. The code appears to be a procedural medical taxonomy entry misaligned with state and local government's administrative and population-health purchasing patterns, which focus on medical services contracts, benefit administration, and workforce procurement rather than specific surgical procedures.

Activity under this code tag is geographically dispersed and issued by varied jurisdictions including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and boards (Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, which covers baseline and periodic medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations; the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety pension boards; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out program administration (due October 7, 2026) covering centers of excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures. The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the administrative, occupational-health, and benefit-management work actually being bought suggests this code may be incorrectly applied in state and local procurement systems, making its activity here of limited relevance to firms pursuing contracts in clinical service delivery or procedural specialties.
