UNSPSC 85663343: Reposition left lower arm and wrist tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left lower arm and wrist tendon, 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 0LS60ZZ

UNSPSC 85663343 Reposition left lower arm and wrist tendon, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities show no medical procedures matching orthopedic surgical repair; instead, state and local governments are using this code to solicit occupational health surveillance, medical evaluation services for pension and disability determinations, employee health benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of solicitation or a data-classification anomaly rather than a usable procurement category for vendors pursuing spine, hand, or orthopedic reconstruction work.

The code shows limited recent activity across diverse issuing bodies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) focused on disability medical record summaries and scheduling examinations for public safety pension applicants. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry locations. The City of Long Beach solicited a surgical benefit carve-out program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) to manage Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures. Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management (258414, due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually) and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the pervasive scope mismatch between the UNSPSC code title and the opportunities tagged under it, this code does not reliably signal actionable procurement intent for vendors in surgical or orthopedic services.
