UNSPSC 85662965: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in upper tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in upper tendon, open 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 0LWX0KZ

UNSPSC 85662965 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in upper tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title references a specific surgical procedure for tissue replacement, but the six state and local opportunities posted under this code over the past three months span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgery carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the procurement or supply of nonautologous tissue substitutes or surgical implant materials. The geographic mismatch and scope divergence suggest this code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to administrative and staffing-driven health services rather than to the orthopedic implant or surgical supply category the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara—spread across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit application review for public safety retirees, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). State and local procurement under this code does not appear to involve the supply, revision, or implantation of tissue substitutes and does not align with the orthopedic or surgical implant market.
