UNSPSC 85662229 Replacement of right upper leg tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect procurement of occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical care services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical implants or procedures themselves. The issuing bodies span occupational health programs (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal pension boards (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits (City of Long Beach), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County, Collier County), and public safety operations, indicating fragmented procurement across state departments, counties, and municipalities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this code to general medical procurement activity rather than to the discrete orthopedic procedure the code nominates.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California (Santa Clara County, City of Long Beach), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Washington (WSDOT), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear regional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications with a five-year term valued at up to $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026) with a two-year initial term and optional five-year extension; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026) with no guaranteed work volume. The code shows little relevant procurement activity aligned to its stated scope.
