UNSPSC 85663302: Transfer right hand tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer right hand 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 0LX70ZZ

UNSPSC 85663302 Transfer right hand tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that names a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not solicit surgical services, orthopedic procedures, or any medical supplies or equipment related to tendon transfer surgery. Instead, the tagged opportunities represent a diverse mix of healthcare administration and service delivery: inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management services for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for mental health workers, and medical direction services for a fire department EMS program. None of these solicitations align with the code's stated scope of surgical procedure nomenclature. The mismatch suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these opportunities in the issuing jurisdictions' procurement systems, or the code itself is not reliably capturing the actual work being bought under this taxonomy entry.

The issuing bodies span county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, and Monroe County in Florida), a city fire department (Santa Monica, California), and a county behavioral health division (San Mateo County, California), with recent postings from February through May 2026. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and California, with one Georgia solicitation. Because the code shows no substantive alignment between its nominal scope and the work actually being procured, state and local procurement professionals should treat this code as dormant or mistagged in current systems and monitor whether future opportunities correctly recategorize these healthcare service solicitations under more appropriate UNSPSC families such as health-care administration or professional medical services rather than surgical procedures.
