UNSPSC 85662138 Supplement left upper leg tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity-tier code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are currently buying. Recent opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involves surgical tendon supplementation or orthopedic procedures matching the code's nominal scope. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual procurements suggests this code either was applied in error to health services solicitations or serves as a placeholder in state and local procurement systems for a broader health management category that does not align with its UNSPSC definition.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), multiple counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Without a coherent match between code and procurement substance, the code shows little signal for vendors in surgical device or orthopedic implant supply chains; business development professionals should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
