UNSPSC 85661909: Replacement of head and neck 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 head and neck 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 0LR047Z

UNSPSC 85661909 Replacement of head and neck tendon with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its surgical procedure nomenclature. The six state and local opportunities tagged under this code address independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tendon replacement procedures or the surgical interventions the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing procurement offices or use of UNSPSC taxonomy that does not align with clinical service delivery categories in state and local health systems.

The opportunities that do appear span diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability evaluations for public safety pensions), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit network management for municipal employees), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit administration), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic activity is scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas with no concentration evident. The Phoenix and Long Beach opportunities are the most specific to surgical or medical procedure management, but neither addresses orthopedic tendon reconstruction. State and local procurement under this code does not reflect the clinical procedure the UNSPSC number names.
