UNSPSC 85663370: Replacement of right shoulder 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 shoulder 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 0LR10KZ

UNSPSC 85663370 Replacement of right shoulder tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the state and local opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic tendon replacement. The mismatch suggests either classification error in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all taxonomy placeholder for medical service procurement outside its intended scope. State and local issuers are counties, municipalities, and public systems rather than surgical centers or orthopedic clinics. Buying bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — a mix of retirement and pension administration, municipal employee benefits, state transportation, juvenile justice, and county health systems.

Recent opportunities center on Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. The Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards issued RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, contract maximum $750,000 over five years); Long Beach issued RFP HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-outs including orthopedic and shoulder procedures (due October 7, 2026, with implementation targeted April 1, 2027); the Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, two-year initial term with optional extensions); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued RFI 071626BNM for emergency and specialty medical services (due September 25, 2026); Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management (due April 9, 2026, three-year initial term covering approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending); and Santa Clara County Health System issued RFSQ HHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories including orthopedic services (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive qualified-vendor-pool vehicle). The code shows little relevant activity under its stated commodity description.
