UNSPSC 85662206: Replacement of right foot tendon with autologous 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 autologous 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 0LRV07Z

UNSPSC 85662206 Replacement of right foot tendon with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations show no alignment with this surgical-intervention scope. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical carve-out benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty care for youth in custody, and general surgical benefit programs — none of which involve autologous tendon replacement or operative orthopedic surgery. The code appears to be a miscategorization or data-quality issue within state and local procurement systems, as the actual work being solicited spans medical administration, benefits consulting, occupational health programs, and healthcare staffing rather than surgical procedures.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County and Collier County), cities (City of Phoenix and City of Long Beach), and a multi-county health system (Santa Clara County Health System). Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (responses due October 16, 2026) addressing disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (responses due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (responses due October 7, 2026). Given the persistent mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity, this code warrants caution in pursuit strategy — the underlying categorization is unreliable.
