UNSPSC 85663356 Replacement of left lower arm and wrist tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local contract opportunities under this code reflect administrative and clinical support services—disability medical evaluations, occupational surveillance, surgical benefit management, and specialty staffing—rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or implant procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being solicited suggests either a data classification issue or that this code is not the primary vehicle for state and local acquisition of this class of service.

The recent opportunities originate from mixed issuing bodies: city pension and retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and juvenile detention (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department and Santa Clara County Health System), and county benefits administration (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' RFP for independent medical evaluation services with responses due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management due October 7, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026. None of these opportunities corresponds directly to orthopedic implant supply or surgical procedure procurement under the code's stated definition.
