UNSPSC 85662261: Reattachment of left foot tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of left foot 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 0LMW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662261 Reattachment of left foot tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at odds with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the solicitations posted under this classification reflect healthcare administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or tendon repair. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how state and local procurement offices have applied this code or that the taxonomy entry itself mischaracterizes what is actually being procured. No recent state and local opportunities are soliciting reattachment surgery services or related surgical supplies and equipment under this code.

Recent activity under this code shows no geographic concentration and spans public agencies with healthcare delivery or benefits-management mandates: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), City of Long Beach (surgical care network management), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit administration), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). These solicitations—ranging from an RFP for independent medical evaluation services from Phoenix (due October 16, 2026) to an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing from Santa Clara (due October 7, 2026)—document healthcare services procurement across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the activities do not align with surgical intervention or related product supply. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignment before pursuing work under this classification, as the code appears to misclassify the healthcare-administration and staffing services currently being tagged to it.
