UNSPSC 85661701: Transfer head and neck 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 0LX00ZZ

UNSPSC 85661701 Transfer head and neck tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The five opportunities posted to the source between February and April 2026 span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures, orthopedic or reconstructive surgery, or transfer of head and neck tendons in any form. The code appears to have been applied as a classification tag to general healthcare and medical management contracting activity without meaningful connection to the surgical procedure the code describes.

State and local procurement activity under this code cannot be characterized by issuing-body mix, geographic spread, or representative recent opportunities because the recent record shows no relevant tendon-transfer work. The taxonomy mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the opportunities block or a fundamental disconnect between the code's definition and how it has been tagged in the procurement systems generating these notices. A business development professional should treat this code as inactive for state and local contract pursuit pending clarification of whether the code is genuinely being used to solicit surgical services or whether the tagging reflects a systematic classification problem.
