UNSPSC 85663408: Repair right shoulder tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right 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 0LQ10ZZ

UNSPSC 85663408 Repair right shoulder tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal clinical scope—orthopedic surgical repair of the rotator cuff—does not align with the posted opportunities tagged under it. Instead, the solicitations captured under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation services, hospital carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve surgical repair of shoulder tendons or any surgical procedure delivery.

The mismatch between the code's clinical label and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between how this code is being applied in procurement systems and what state and local buyers actually need. State and local agencies posting the Phoenix Retirement Office's disability evaluation RFP, the City of Long Beach's surgical center-of-excellence carve-out (which does reference shoulder procedures alongside knee, hip, spine, and oncology), and the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance contract have tagged them with this specific commodity code, but the services do not constitute surgical repair. If your firm performs shoulder tendon repair as an orthopedic surgical provider or facility, the code as currently deployed does not reliably surface actual procurement opportunities in your market. Monitor this code for category clarification or reconciliation with the issuing authorities, but do not rely on it as a lead source until the tagging improves.
