UNSPSC 85662202: Replacement of left foot tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left foot 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 0LRW0JZ

UNSPSC 85662202 Replacement of left foot tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in current state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities show state and local bodies issuing notices for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or tendon replacement procedures. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this surgical procedure code to broader health services categories, possibly due to misclassification or the limitations of available taxonomy options when coding complex healthcare administration or occupational health contracts.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with geographic activity concentrated in California, Florida, Washington, and Arizona. Representative current solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers with a due date of October 9, 2026 and pre-bid conference on August 31; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026. The code does not show material recent activity consistent with orthopedic surgical procedures, making pursuit under this code label unlikely to be productive.
