UNSPSC 85663013: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper 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 0LPX3KZ

UNSPSC 85663013 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect the clinical procedure the code nominally describes. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic tissue removal. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or that these opportunities were miscoded in their source systems. State and local procurement offices issuing under this code include county government (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), city agencies (Phoenix Retirement Office, Long Beach), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic concentration appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear dominant region.

The recent solicitations reveal no coherent activity aligned with the procedure code itself. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000 commencing February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation sought proposals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide. Collier County issued an RFP (258414, due April 9, 2026—now lapsed) for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 covered members with historical annual spending near $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a non-exclusive multiple-award vendor pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 service categories excluding nursing and physician roles. Given the consistent divergence between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited, this code should be monitored for recoding corrections or used only with caution when evaluating procurement intent in these jurisdictions.
