UNSPSC 85661708, Replacement of head and neck tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. The recent opportunities posted with this code span occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, surgical carve-out program management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical procedures or implantable devices. The issuing bodies are a mix of state health agencies and departments, counties, cities, and health systems—Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to administrative and clinical staffing procurements rather than surgical interventions.

Geographic activity spans Washington State, Arizona, California, and Texas. The most recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with a $750,000 five-year maximum and proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management covering orthopedic and specialty procedures with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.
