UNSPSC 85662234: Replacement of right hip 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 hip 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 0LRJ0KZ

UNSPSC 85662234 Replacement of right hip tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs through Centers of Excellence, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with orthopedic surgical implants or the procedure itself. The mismatch suggests either broad-scope tagging that captures medical services tangentially or misalignment between the code's clinical specificity and how state and local procurement offices are categorizing health and benefits administration work.

No state and local government solicitations in the recent-opportunities block are actually procuring hip tendon replacement procedures or related implant materials. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical benefit carve-out program management through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries division is contracting for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). These solicitations address benefits administration, vendor network management, and occupational health compliance—not surgical device procurement or orthopedic procedures themselves. Unless state and local governments are using this code to tag medical benefits administration broadly, the code appears inactive for its nominal scope.
