UNSPSC 85663417: Reattachment of left hand 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 0LM80ZZ

UNSPSC 85663417 Reattachment of left hand tendon, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal clinical scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve hand tendon reattachment surgery. The issuing bodies include county health systems, state transportation departments, county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, and county juvenile probation departments. This code does not reflect a coherent procurement category; state and local procurement offices appear to have tagged health-care-adjacent services to a surgical procedure code that does not match the work actually being bought.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a due date of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026, covering 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations statewide. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach posted HR26753 for surgical procedure carve-out benefits management due October 7, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414) with historical annual spend of approximately $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. This code warrants review for data quality or re-tagging by the issuing jurisdictions rather than pursuit under its present scope alignment.
