UNSPSC 85662264: Reattachment of right ankle tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of right ankle 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 0LMS0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662264, Reattachment of right ankle tendon, open approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears little relevance to the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The six most recent opportunities solicited under this code are medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these align with ankle tendon reattachment. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source system or that this UNSPSC number is being repurposed as a catch-all for health services procurement. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include city pension boards, county human resources and health departments, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile probation departments—a mix spanning retirement administration, employee benefits, occupational health compliance, and detention health services rather than orthopedic surgery programs.

Recent activity clusters in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 public safety retirees annually, at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP (due October 7, 2026) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence for 3,800 active employees and retirees. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, solicited proposals (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, with examinations required for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos-exposed personnel. Collier County, Florida issued an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending, and the County of Santa Clara established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. This code shows meaningful recent activity but remains misaligned with its stated orthopedic procedure scope.
