UNSPSC 85662235: Replacement of right hip tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right hip 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 0LRJ0JZ

UNSPSC 85662235 Replacement of right hip tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not align with orthopedic implant procurement or surgical supply-chain work. Instead, the opportunities show activity in occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability-benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in the source data—state and local procurement offices are not using this code to buy hip replacement implants or related surgical devices. The issuing bodies represent a mix of city health systems (Santa Clara), county commissioners and health departments (Collier County, Harris County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement offices (Phoenix), and municipal workforce benefit administrators (Long Beach). No recent opportunities are soliciting orthopedic implants, surgical instrumentation, or surgical-supply-chain services under this code.

The geographic spread of the six opportunities spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability-benefit determinations for fire and police pension boards ($750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (pre-bid on August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's October 7, 2026 RFP for surgical benefit carve-out administration through Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures (approximately 3,800 enrolled members); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's September 25, 2026 RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; and Santa Clara County Health System's October 7, 2026 non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows little relevant recent activity to state and local orthopedic implant or surgical-device procurement.
