This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left upper arm tendon with synthetic substitute, 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 0LU40JZ

UNSPSC 85663322 Supplement left upper arm tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical orthopedic procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with orthopedic surgery or tendon repair. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code involve comprehensive inmate healthcare management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer mental health support for workers, and emergency medical services medical direction—none of which relate to upper arm tendon supplementation or surgical implants. The code appears to have been misapplied or mismatched to the actual work being procured by issuing bodies, signaling that this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in the orthopedic medical devices or surgical services sector.

The issuing bodies and geographic spread reveal procurement activity across multiple county and municipal health jurisdictions in Florida, Georgia, and California, including the Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health Behavioral and Recovery Services (California), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California). Recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP 2025-007 for peer support services totaling $580,000 over three years (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 628 for a Medical Director to oversee emergency medical services (due October 16, 2025). The fundamental mismatch between the code's orthopedic surgical designation and the healthcare administration, pharmacy management, and mental health services being solicited suggests this code is not an appropriate vehicle for vendors pursuing state and local procurement in the orthopedic implant or surgical services space.
