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 0LUL0KZ

UNSPSC 85662140 Supplement right upper leg tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with surgical implants or tissue substitutes. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader health services procurement—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content suggests that the code is being applied incorrectly by issuing bodies, or that state and local procurement systems are using this surgical-procedure taxonomy to tag health services contracts that fall outside its intended use. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach, City of Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county corrections (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county benefits administration (Collier County). The work being solicited does not involve orthopedic surgical devices or procedures; instead, it spans occupational health screening, disability medical record review, managed care networks, pharmacy administration, and temporary clinical staffing.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence due October 7, 2026, targeting Anthem Blue Cross PPO members. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, with a two-year base term and optional five-year extensions. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital-based medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026. Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with an initial three-year term effective January 1, 2026, and historical annual spend of approximately $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing due October 7, 2026. Because the code's actual procurement activity does not reflect orthopedic surgical implants, business development professionals should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
