UNSPSC 85663421: Reattachment of left upper arm tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of left upper arm 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 0LM40ZZ

UNSPSC 85663421 Reattachment of left upper arm tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying. The recent solicitations tagged under this code—occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record summary services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical procedure carve-outs for employee benefit plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—span a broad range of health care administration, occupational health services, and benefits management. None of these procurements involve surgical reattachment procedures. The code assignment appears to be a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the actual scope of work being solicited.

State and local issuers across multiple jurisdictions and service categories are active in this code's tagged opportunities, but the work does not constitute a coherent procurement category. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance services, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out program management for employee health plans, due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management services, with a historical spend of approximately $8.7 million annually), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026). The code shows activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the lack of thematic coherence suggests misclassification rather than a legitimate procurement family worth pursuing under this UNSPSC designation.
