UNSPSC 85663310 Supplement left hand tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work in recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety retirement disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tendon supplementation. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipalities, state departments of transportation, county probation departments, county health systems, and county governments. This code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal surgical scope and the healthcare administration and staffing services actually being procured.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Because the code's taxonomy definition does not align with the healthcare services, staffing, and benefits administration work captured in these solicitations, this code warrants review for potential miscoding rather than pursuit based on surgical-procedure scope.
