UNSPSC 85662409: Repair left upper leg tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left upper leg tendon, percutaneous 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 0LQM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662409 Repair left upper leg tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations show no activity involving orthopedic surgical procedures on tendons. Instead, the code's recent activity includes independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the tendon repair procedures the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's medical procedure name and the actual procurement activity suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that this code is not actively used by state and local governments for its stated purpose.

State and local procurement bodies in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted opportunities between July and September 2026 under this code, but the work being bought bears no relationship to orthopedic surgery. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out network management due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026. None of these solicit surgical repair services. The code shows current activity in state and local markets, but vendors pursuing opportunities under UNSPSC 85662409 should verify the actual scope of work with issuing bodies before investing bid resources, as the nominal code description does not reflect what is actually being procured.
