UNSPSC 85662967 Revision of autologous tissue substitute in upper tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The source contains six recent state and local contract opportunities, but none address the surgical revision of autologous tendon grafts that the code nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities cover independent medical evaluation services for disability benefits, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — activities unrelated to orthopedic tissue revision surgery. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent tagging in the source data or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement bodies for direct medical-device or surgical-service purchases.

Because the source identifies no opportunities aligned with the code's stated scope, pursuing this code is not supported by current state and local procurement activity. Vendors should verify whether state and local jurisdictions use this code for actual procurements or whether activity, if any, occurs under different UNSPSC classifications.
