UNSPSC 85662205, Replacement of right foot tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with orthopedic or podiatric tendon repair; instead, they reflect a mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the actual work being solicited. State and local governments tagging opportunities under this code are pursuing independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. None of these services directly involve tendon replacement or surgical supply procurement.

The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, and local municipal agencies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (medical evaluation for pension boards), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing), and the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program). Recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity dates ranging from July through October 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code as currently applied appears to serve as a miscellaneous catch-all for health services procurement rather than reflecting any active market for orthopedic surgical procedures or implants.
