UNSPSC 85662228: Replacement of right upper 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 right upper 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 0LRL0KZ

UNSPSC 85662228 Replacement of right upper leg tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities show no alignment with this classification. The solicitations tagged under this code instead reflect occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involves orthopedic surgery or prosthetic tissue replacement. The mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or that the tagging reflects administrative error rather than genuine commodity alignment.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), local municipalities (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county procurement offices (Collier County), county juvenile probation (Harris County), and county government commissions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFP for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The absence of recent procurement activity directly aligned with the code's stated scope—orthopedic surgery with nonautologous tissue grafting—suggests limited current market activity under this specific classification in state and local government contracting.
