This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right knee tendon with synthetic 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 0LUQ0JZ

UNSPSC 85662129 Supplement right knee tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears no meaningful relationship to that scope. The five recent opportunities posted against this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county jail, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction—span healthcare administration, benefits management, and medical staffing rather than orthopedic implants or surgical supplies. The code shows no recent solicitations for knee tendon supplements, prosthetics, or surgical implants of any kind.

The geographic spread of the recent opportunities includes Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with response dates ranging from February through May 2026. Because the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought are substantially misaligned, this code appears to reflect a tagging error in state and local procurement systems rather than a reliable indicator of current demand for orthopedic devices or surgical supplies. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code tier and commodity classification before allocating resources to pursue opportunities tagged under 85662129.
