UNSPSC 85663009: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower tendon, percutaneous 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 0LPY3KZ

UNSPSC 85663009, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from lower tendon, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under that nominal scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect procurement of occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure networks, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with orthopedic tissue-substitute removal procedures. The mismatch suggests either tagging error by the issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical definition and how state and local procurement systems are applying it in practice. State and local buyers across this sample include a city retirement board (Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile justice system (Harris County), and a county health care consortium (Collier County).

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, budgeted at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry terminals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the material disconnect between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity, business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before committing resources to pursue opportunities in this category.
