UNSPSC 85662616 Replacement of right knee tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pension disability evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve orthopedic tendon replacement procedures. This mismatch signals that the code either has been misapplied to administrative and staffing services that fall outside its intended clinical scope, or that state and local procurement offices are not using this code for its designed purpose. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and city employee benefits functions (City of Long Beach), but these entities are procuring medical administration, staffing, and benefits management rather than surgical implant or procedure services.

No recent opportunities in the source document reflect actual procurement of knee tendon replacement procedures, implant materials, or related surgical supplies. Vendors pursuing this code should verify with state and local procurement offices whether it remains active for its intended orthopedic surgical scope or has been superseded by administrative healthcare service codes. The current activity pattern does not support business development focus on this Commodity code for state and local government contracting.
