UNSPSC 85662214 Replacement of left knee tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not procure surgical implants, prosthetics, or orthopedic devices; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance services, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for government employee health plans, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the procurement of knee tendon replacements or similar medical devices or surgical supplies.

The geographic spread of actual opportunities ranges across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County). The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being purchased indicates that either the code was applied incorrectly to these opportunities or the code itself sees minimal use in state and local procurement. State and local buyers pursuing this code should verify that opportunities are genuinely tagged at the Commodity level for orthopedic implants and surgical supplies rather than broader healthcare administration or staffing services.
