This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right hand tendon with synthetic 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 0LR70JZ

UNSPSC 85663353 Replacement of right hand tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows negligible recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The code's abstract taxonomy label describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six most recent state and local solicitations posted under it address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve tendon replacement or orthopedic surgery procurement. The mismatch between code assignment and actual scope suggests either broad tagging by procurement offices or upstream classification errors that have decoupled the code from genuine market activity.

State and local buyers posting under this code span county health systems, municipal retirement boards, state transportation agencies, juvenile justice departments, and county commissioners' offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees and retirees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code exhibits no coherent procurement pattern. Vendors evaluating this UNSPSC should treat it as unsuitable for targeted business development and instead monitor opportunities under higher-tier family or class codes related to occupational health services, employee health benefits administration, or temporary health staffing.
