UNSPSC 85662165 Reposition left knee tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical-procedure procurement. Instead, the recent solicitations show activity in occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, medical-procedure carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code exhibits a fundamental mismatch between its taxonomy label and what state and local governments are actually buying under it. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and county-level purchasing on behalf of municipal pension boards. No vendor names, award amounts, or repeat-buyer patterns are evident from the recent opportunities.

Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at Washington State Ferries across 14 statewide locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award pool qualification for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no alignment with actual procurement activity and warrants reassessment before pursuit.
