UNSPSC 85662162: Reposition right foot tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right foot tendon, 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 0LSV0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662162 Reposition right foot tendon, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's stated scope. The six recent opportunities in the dataset involve independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tendon repositioning or orthopedic surgery. This code shows a significant mismatch between its taxonomy title and the work actually being solicited by state and local bodies.

The geographic spread of the recent opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), reflecting activity across multiple states and jurisdiction types including city governments, county health systems, state departments, and county probation departments. Given the absence of tendon-repositioning-related solicitations in the recent-opportunities block, this code does not represent a viable procurement category for vendors in the orthopedic surgery space. Procurement professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies or seek alternative UNSPSC classifications aligned with healthcare staffing, benefits management, or occupational health services if pursuing the opportunities above.
