UNSPSC 85662618: Replacement of right knee tendon with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right knee tendon with autologous 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 0LRQ47Z

UNSPSC 85662618 Replacement of right knee tendon with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure for knee tendon repair—does not align with the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this code designation.

The six recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None involve knee tendon replacement procedures. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), but the actual services procured—staff augmentation, claims processing, occupational health examinations, and medical record management—fall outside orthopedic surgery delivery. The mismatch suggests the code may be assigned incorrectly by issuing procurement offices, or the UNSPSC taxonomy itself does not reflect the true scope of work. Bidders should verify code alignment directly with each issuing body before pursuing opportunities advertised under this designation.
