UNSPSC 85662219: Replacement of left lower leg tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left lower leg 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 0LRP0KZ

UNSPSC 85662219, Replacement of left lower leg tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that reflects a mismatch between its clinical procedure nomenclature and the state and local procurement activity actually posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue substitutes; instead, they document solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing pools, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these services align with the code's nominal scope of a specific surgical intervention. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement related to its stated commodity definition.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County). Activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with no evident concentration of repeat buyers under this code. Representatives include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). The tagging of these healthcare administration and staffing services to an orthopedic surgical procedure code suggests a classification error at the source rather than genuine procurement alignment; business development professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC code assignments directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities posted under this code.
