UNSPSC 85663361 Replacement of left upper arm tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that represents a specific surgical procedure. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with the procedure's nominal scope; instead, the opportunities reflect broader healthcare administration, occupational health surveillance, and specialty medical staffing services. The issuing bodies span city retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation, and county human resources departments — a fragmented set of healthcare and benefits-administration functions rather than orthopedic surgical services. The work being solicited includes independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, temporary health professional staffing (including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical support), and specialty medical carve-out programs for municipal employees.

The recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Washington State, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 five-year contract ceiling for disability medical record review and physician examination scheduling. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP due October 7, 2026 for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits, while the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted an RFP due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI due September 25, 2026 for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code assignment appears to be a procurement taxonomy mismatch; the opportunities reflect healthcare administration and occupational health functions rather than orthopedic surgical procedures, signaling low relevance for vendors focused on surgical implant supply or orthopedic surgery support services.
