UNSPSC 85663358: Replacement of right lower arm and wrist 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 lower arm and wrist 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 0LR50KZ

UNSPSC 85663358 Replacement of right lower arm and wrist tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities show little or no alignment with this medical-procedure taxonomy entry. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — none of which constitute replacement tendon surgery or directly procure orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to have been applied to these opportunities in error or as an administrative placeholder; the scope of actual work being solicited does not match the procedure code's intended category.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of local government health departments and municipal employee benefit offices: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (ferry division), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity is dispersed across Arizona, California, Washington State, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) valued at $750,000 over five years, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026). This code does not reflect active procurement of the procedure it nominally describes.
