This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left upper arm 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 0LR40JZ

UNSPSC 85663362 Replacement of left upper arm tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with orthopedic surgery or medical device procurement. The six opportunities on record span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve tendon replacement or orthopedic implants. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought medical evaluation services for public safety pension applicants; the City of Long Beach requested Centers of Excellence network management for knee, hip, spine, shoulder, and other specialty procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation contracted for occupational medical examinations; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for hospital and specialty care delivery; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit administration; and Santa Clara County Health System posted for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. The code shows minimal or no genuine demand signal for the surgical procedure it nominates.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Washington State (DOT ferries), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies ranging from city retirement offices and county procurement divisions to state transportation departments and public health systems. No repeat buyer patterns are evident in the recent block. The misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code is either poorly curated in state and local databases or used incorrectly by issuing bodies tagging operational healthcare management, benefits administration, or staffing procurement. Firms pursuing orthopedic surgery, tendon repair devices, or hospital surgical supplies should validate against the code directly with procurement offices rather than rely on recent opportunity clustering under this designation.
