UNSPSC 85662102 Transfer right foot tendon, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with orthopedic surgery or tendon repair. Instead, the code appears to have been applied inconsistently to a range of health-care service procurements that fall outside musculoskeletal surgery entirely. State and local buyers are issuing solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve right foot tendon transfer or comparable surgical procedures. The issuing bodies span city and county government health and human resources departments, county commissioners, pension boards, ferries authorities, juvenile justice agencies, and county health systems across multiple states, with no concentration in any particular jurisdiction or function.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach soliciting a surgical carve-out and Centers of Excellence benefit for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows activity in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, but the procurement mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being bought signals either systematic tagging error or an outdated taxonomy assignment that does not reflect current state and local buying patterns for medical services.
