UNSPSC 85662607: Replacement of left ankle tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left ankle tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0LRT4KZ

UNSPSC 85662607 Replacement of left ankle tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code assigned to a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect orthopedic surgery procurement. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities center on medical administration, evaluation coordination, and staffing — functions typically categorized under employee health benefit management or general occupational health services rather than a single surgical procedure. The issuing bodies span state transportation departments, county pension boards, county health systems, county human resources divisions, and city retirement offices.

Activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most recent opportunities from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, RFP, due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out for Centers of Excellence, RFP, due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, RFP, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a single lower-extremity surgical procedure—and the range of medical administration and staffing work appearing in recent solicitations suggests either misclassification in the source data or minimal direct procurement of this specific procedure through state and local channels. No evidence of procurement activity directly aligned with ankle tendon replacement surgery appears in the record.
