UNSPSC 85663368 Replacement of left shoulder tendon with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect no actual procurement of surgical implants, prosthetics, or tissue substitutes. Instead, issuing bodies are acquiring administrative and clinical services—disability medical evaluation coordination, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and hospital-based emergency care for detainees—that fall outside the scope of orthopedic surgical supplies or devices. The mismatch between the code's name and the work actually being solicited indicates either miscategorization at the source or migration of procurement needs away from the code's nominal commodity line.

State and local issuing bodies using this code tag include a city retirement system (City of Phoenix), county human-resources and health authorities (City of Long Beach, Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), and other county and municipal bodies. No recent opportunities for the purchase or supply of left shoulder tendon replacements or related orthopedic implants and substitutes appear in the posting record. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but activity is sparse and disconnected from the code's stated commodity scope. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes under its current taxonomy designation.
