UNSPSC 85663404: Repair right lower arm and wrist tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right lower arm and wrist tendon, 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 0LQ50ZZ

UNSPSC 85663404 Repair right lower arm and wrist tendon, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure code name and the state and local opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code do not involve surgical repair of tendons; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or as a catch-all categorization for health service procurement rather than reflecting actual surgical-procedure repair work.

Activity is spread across multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and local health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering 14 ferry system locations; the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out benefit program RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code does not represent a coherent procurement opportunity category for business development targeting.
