UNSPSC 85662245 Repair left upper leg tendon, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code, however, show no alignment with surgical repair services; instead, they reflect medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code appears to have been misapplied to these procurements and does not represent the actual scope of work being solicited.

State and local governments are not currently soliciting orthopedic surgical repair services under this code. The opportunities posted—including independent medical evaluation services from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, occupational medical surveillance from the Washington State Department of Transportation, surgical benefit carve-out programs from the City of Long Beach, and temporary health professional staffing from Santa Clara Health System—fall outside the nominal commodity definition and suggest systematic misclassification rather than active procurement demand for tendon repair procedures at the state and local level.
