UNSPSC 85662217 Replacement of right knee tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, pension disability evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or synthetic tendon replacement. The issuing bodies include state departments, counties, cities, and special-purpose health systems; Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System, and City of Long Beach are among the recent issuers. The code generates activity across Arizona, Washington, Florida, California, and Texas.

The representative recent opportunities demonstrate the breadth of the mismatch. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000 and a response date of October 16, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide via RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid on August 31, 2026. Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million and a response deadline of April 9, 2026 — though this date appears inconsistent with the August 20, 2026 posting date and may indicate a data error in the source. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated orthopedic-procedure scope.
