UNSPSC 85662109 Transfer left upper leg tendon, open approach is a Commodity code intended to classify surgical procedures, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with orthopedic surgical intervention. Instead, the code appears to be capturing a broader set of health services—occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determination, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. State and local buyers using this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal employee benefits offices. The scope of work actually being solicited ranges from scheduling and coordinating independent physician examinations for disability pension applications to managing Centers of Excellence networks for elective surgical procedures and establishing temporary staffing pools for ancillary clinical services.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies with no dominant geographic concentration. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an occupational medical surveillance RFP for Washington State Ferries (proposals due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (proposals due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). Collier County issued a pharmacy benefit management RFP with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million (initial three-year term effective January 1, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posted an RFI for hospital and specialty medical services for detained youth (responses due September 25, 2026). The code shows active state and local procurement activity across the Southwest, West Coast, and South, but the range of services posted under it suggests misclassification or overly broad code assignment by issuing offices.
