UNSPSC 85662947: Revision of autologous tissue substitute in lower tendon, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of autologous tissue substitute in lower tendon, external 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 0LWYX7Z

UNSPSC 85662947 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in lower tendon, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title references a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged under it are instead soliciting medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and specialty surgery carve-out networks — none of which align with surgical revision of autologous tissue grafts in lower extremity tendon repair. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in source databases or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC classification and actual buying patterns under this code.

No state and local government procurement activity directly matching the code's stated scope (surgical revision of lower tendon autologous tissue substitutes) appears in the recent opportunity record. The five posted solicitations — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgery benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's specialty medical services RFI (due September 25, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, now closed), and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary clinical staffing qualification pool (due October 7, 2026) — represent health administration, surveillance, staffing, and benefit management work rather than surgical supply or procedure-specific procurement. The code warrants review for potential classification errors in the source database, as no actionable orthopedic surgical device or procedure revision work is evident.
