UNSPSC 85662535 Supplement right lower leg tendon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or synthetic tendon replacements. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC code's clinical procedure scope and how state and local agencies are using it in practice.

The solicitations show activity across diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefits program), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention healthcare), Collier County Health Care Consortium (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. No procurement under this code reflects the surgical procedure named in its title; the code appears inactive or misapplied for its stated commodity scope. Business development professionals should verify that tagging before investing pursuit effort on this category.
