UNSPSC 85663407: Repair left shoulder tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left shoulder 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 0LQ20ZZ

UNSPSC 85663407 Repair left shoulder tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the scope of actual state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical repair of the shoulder. The mismatch indicates either a systematic cataloging error in the source data or misapplication of the code at the posting stage by issuing bodies. No state and local procurement activity directly soliciting shoulder tendon repair services appears in the record.

The issuing bodies using this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), city employee health benefit programs (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation systems (Harris County), county human resources departments (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Recent opportunities are concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast, with activity in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representatives include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's nominal description and the work actually being procured, this code is not actionable for vendors targeting orthopedic or surgical service contracting.
