UNSPSC 85663352: Replacement of right hand tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right hand 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 0LR70KZ

UNSPSC 85663352 Replacement of right hand tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map meaningfully to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — orthopedic tendon replacement — but state and local buying under this UNSPSC designation does not reflect surgical procedure execution or implant procurement. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code involve medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health plan carve-out administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve tendon replacement surgery or nonautologous tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or that the code has been applied as a catch-all for medical and health services broadly rather than for the specific orthopedic procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies represented in the recent opportunities are diverse: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the code does not reflect the actual work being solicited, this category presents low relevance for vendors specializing in orthopedic implants, surgical devices, or tendon replacement services.
