UNSPSC 85662266: Reattachment of right knee tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of right 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 0LMQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662266 Reattachment of right knee tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows minimal direct alignment with this clinical classification. The solicitations tagged under this code instead span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency youth detention healthcare, and public-safety pension medical determinations — none of which involve direct reattachment of knee tendons or orthopedic surgery provision. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the source records or use of this code as a catch-all for health-service procurement that does not fit the code's actual scope.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a regional health system. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry terminals; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability determination summaries and specialty physician scheduling with a $750,000 maximum over five years; the City of Long Beach surgical carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence networks across knee, hip, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology; and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (historical spending approximately $8.7 million annually) for comprehensive PBM administration. Given the code's stated clinical specificity versus the breadth and nature of actual procurement activity, exercise caution in assuming this code provides reliable signals for orthopedic surgery contracting or direct clinical service provision.
