UNSPSC 85662101 Transfer left foot tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at odds with recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities in the source reflect medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, specialty network management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve transfer of a tendon. State and local issuing bodies are not soliciting surgical procedure codes as commodities; instead, they are procuring administrative medical services, occupational health compliance, Centers of Excellence networks, and temporary staffing pools. The mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied to these opportunities or represents a data classification error rather than a genuine procurement category in active use.

The recent opportunities that carry this code span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations), California (City of Long Beach seeking surgical procedure carve-out benefit management; County of Santa Clara Health System seeking temporary health professional staffing), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation purchasing occupational medical surveillance), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department requesting emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), and Florida (Collier County seeking pharmacy benefit management). No pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges from these records, and the opportunities themselves fall outside the orthopedic surgical scope the code name suggests. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal definition.
