This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right knee 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 0LRQ0KZ

UNSPSC 85662216, Replacement of right knee tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal clinical title does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or knee tendon repair. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the tagging system or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for medical service categories that lack precise UNSPSC coding. State and local governments issuing under this code include county boards of commissioners, municipal retirement offices, health systems, and transit authorities; the issuing bodies span administrative agencies managing employee benefits, pension systems, and detention health services.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, Collier County, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, budgeted at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks for the Anthem PPO plan, due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The code shows no meaningful alignment with its stated clinical scope and may warrant verification against the actual commodity purchased before committing business development resources.
