This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of left upper leg 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 0LMM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662269 Reattachment of left upper leg tendon, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but state and local governments do not solicit this specific orthopedic operation directly. Instead, recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect broader medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, and healthcare services procurement driven by public sector employee benefits, pension administration, and occupational safety compliance. The actual buying activity encompasses independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, occupational medicine examinations for transportation and maritime workers, surgical procedure carve-out programs within employee health plans, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipal pension and retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach Human Resources). The code reflects a wide misalignment between its nominal scope and the purchasing reality—it does not track orthopedic surgical reattachment procurement as a commodity but rather bundles diverse medical services contracting that states and localities issue as RFPs and RFQs.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (Ferries system statewide), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), indicating national but scattered state and local uptake. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum contract covering approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications (due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with a two-year term and optional extensions (due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services serving approximately 7,200 covered members with estimated historical spending of $8.7 million annually (due April 9, 2026, though posted August 20, 2026). The code shows limited procurement activity under its stated orthopedic definition and should not be relied upon to identify relevant surgical procurement opportunities.
