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 0LU20JZ

UNSPSC 85663328 Supplement left shoulder tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures, implants, or any surgical tendon repair work. Instead, the solicitations tagged to this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which relate to shoulder tendon supplementation or surgical implant procurement. The issuing bodies across these opportunities span county correctional systems, county human resources and health plan administration, and municipal fire departments, with no pattern suggesting this code is used for its nominal medical device or surgical service scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California again (Santa Monica), but this geographic distribution does not indicate where UNSPSC 85663328 itself is actively used for orthopedic or surgical implant contracting. The mismatch between the code's title and the actual work being solicited suggests either a systematic tagging error in the state and local procurement database or that this code is not currently the target classification for state and local health system or correctional health services RFPs. No recent opportunities in the source reflect procurement of shoulder tendon implants, surgical supplies for orthopedic procedures, or related medical devices. A firm evaluating this code should treat it as having no reliable signal of relevant current opportunity flow and should verify the actual UNSPSC code assignments used by target jurisdictions before allocating business development resources.
