UNSPSC 85662241: Repair left knee tendon, 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 0LQR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662241 Repair left knee tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the five most recent opportunities tagged under it span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica). None of these solicitations involve knee tendon repair or orthopedic surgery procurement. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or that the code is being applied to health services contracts without specificity to the surgical procedure itself.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect actual buying patterns for knee tendon repair services. The tagged opportunities represent broader healthcare service delivery, staffing, and administration — not surgical procedures or related medical supplies. Buyers pursuing orthopedic or surgical service contracts should verify code assignment with procurement offices before investing in pursuit strategy under UNSPSC 85662241, as current activity provides no reliable signal of market demand for the specific clinical service the code nominally describes.
