UNSPSC 85662211: Replacement of right ankle tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right ankle 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 0LRS0JZ

UNSPSC 85662211 Replacement of right ankle tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it do not solicit the procurement of synthetic ankle tendons, surgical implants, or related medical devices. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation), independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit program administration and Center of Excellence network management (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these activities align with procuring surgical implants or executing the procedure itself.

The geographic spread of the tagged opportunities spans Washington State, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, but the code's classification mismatch signals either a tagging error in the source data or a departure of state and local procurement practice from the UNSPSC definition. State and local buyers pursuing orthopedic implants, synthetic medical devices, or surgical procedures would typically appear under different commodity codes within the medical supplies and services hierarchy. Absent relevant recent opportunities actually soliciting the product or service named in the code, pursuit under UNSPSC 85662211 is not supported by current market activity.
