UNSPSC 85662204: Replacement of right foot tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right foot tendon with nonautologous tissue 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 0LRV0KZ

UNSPSC 85662204 Replacement of right foot tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for orthopedic tissue replacement; however, the most recent opportunities posted under this code reflect occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence carve-out benefits, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve the tendon replacement procedure the code purports to describe. State and local procurement systems occasionally tag service solicitations with mismatched clinical procedure codes, and this code exhibits that pattern. No solicitations for tendon replacement or related orthopedic surgical services appear in the source material.

The recent opportunities do show meaningful state and local healthcare procurement activity across medical management, evaluation, and staffing. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach is procuring surgical carve-out benefits for its health plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city and county retirement offices, health systems, state transportation agencies, and county human services departments. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities posted under it, this code does not reliably signal relevant procurement for orthopedic surgical services or related tendon replacement work.
