UNSPSC 85663325 Supplement right upper arm tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. Recent opportunities posted against this code involve occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve tendon supplementation or orthopedic implant procedures. The issuing bodies include state health and transportation departments, county health systems and pension offices, and municipal government entities across multiple jurisdictions, but the code assignment appears to be a tagging error rather than a reflection of genuine procurement activity in this surgical commodity.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington based on recent postings, but the underlying mismatch between code and solicitation content limits the utility of this code for business development targeting. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualification solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. If your firm pursues orthopedic implant or surgical procedure opportunities, this code assignment is unreliable for filtering relevant state and local demand.
