UNSPSC 85661709: Replacement of head and neck tendon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of head and neck tendon with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0LR007Z

UNSPSC 85661709, Replacement of head and neck tendon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with little relevance to the code's clinical scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not align with orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue grafting. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the state and local opportunities reflect broader healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management work that falls outside that clinical domain. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or an artifact of how the procurement taxonomy maps to administrative health services contracts.

No recent state and local opportunities in the source material actually solicit orthopedic surgery, tissue banking, or surgical implant services within the code's defined scope. The Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and Washington State Ferries RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) are the most recent examples, but both address occupational and disability medical evaluation rather than surgical procedures. Activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, and issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county procurement divisions. The code shows limited actionable procurement activity for vendors offering surgical services or tissue-substitute products in the core orthopedic and reconstructive space.
