UNSPSC 85662223: Replacement of right lower leg tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right lower leg 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 0LRN0JZ

UNSPSC 85662223 Replacement of right lower leg tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities in the source—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara)—address healthcare administration, benefits management, occupational health screening, and clinical staffing. None of these solicitations procure orthopedic surgical procedures or implants tied to lower leg tendon replacement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical intervention (replacement of a right lower leg tendon with synthetic material using an open surgical approach), which does not align with the state and local opportunities tagged under it.

The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or that this code is not actively used in state and local procurement for its stated clinical purpose. State and local healthcare purchasing typically flows through managed care contracts, benefits administration, and professional staffing arrangements rather than through discrete commodity codes for individual surgical procedures. If your firm supplies orthopedic implants, surgical devices, or tendon repair materials to state and local health systems or their vendors, this code warrants further investigation through direct contact with procurement offices—but the recent opportunity record does not support current activity at the code level.
