This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left shoulder tendon with nonautologous tissue 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 0LU20KZ

UNSPSC 85663327 Supplement left shoulder tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code—from Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—involve medical administration, benefits management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing rather than the procurement of shoulder tendon surgical supplies or services. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal employee benefits departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, county juvenile probation, and regional health consortia, suggesting the code has been misapplied across diverse public-sector health administration contexts.

No state and local opportunities reflect procurement of orthopedic surgical implants, tissue grafts, or procedure-specific medical devices aligned with the code's stated scope. Recent postings include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services contract (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program for its PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance contract (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than a live procurement vehicle for orthopedic surgical supplies or services.
