UNSPSC 85662633: Replacement of left hip 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 left hip 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 0LRK47Z

UNSPSC 85662633 Replacement of left hip tendon with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under it. The code describes a highly specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities solicited under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these solicitations align with hip tendon replacement procedures or orthopedic surgery delivery. The opportunities span administrative and managed-care functions rather than surgical procedures themselves, suggesting either a tagging error in the procurement source or that this code is being used as a catch-all classifier for health and medical services outside its intended surgical taxonomy.

Recent opportunities have been issued by diverse public bodies including state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), city employee benefits programs (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), with response deadlines ranging from September 2026 through October 2026. No procurement activity in this data set reflects the code's stated scope of hip tendon replacement surgery. The code does not appear to be actively used by state and local buyers to procure orthopedic surgical procedures; pursuit under this code code requires verification that opportunities actually match surgical procedure scope rather than relying on UNSPSC classification alone.
