UNSPSC 85662934: Replacement of perineum tendon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of perineum tendon with synthetic 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 0LRH4JZ

UNSPSC 85662934 Replacement of perineum tendon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the opportunities posted under it in the recent contract record. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach requested surgical benefit carve-out network management for employee health plans; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these procurements involve orthopedic surgery, tendon repair, or synthetic implant supply—the actual work the code describes. The mismatch suggests either mis-coding at the jurisdiction level or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy as applied and the actual medical services and staffing being purchased.

State and local issuers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted these opportunities, but they represent administrative, staffing, and benefits-management functions rather than surgical procedures or medical devices. The code does not reflect procurement activity aligned with its commodity definition and should not be pursued based on recent state and local solicitation patterns.
