UNSPSC 85663619 Supplement right lower arm and wrist tendon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving orthopedic tendon replacement, yet recent solicitations tagged under this code do not involve procurement of surgical supplies, implants, or orthopedic devices. Instead, issuing bodies are purchasing healthcare services — occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code appears to have been misapplied to service-delivery opportunities rather than to the product or supply categories the code's name suggests.

State and local healthcare purchasers posting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County), and cities (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity distributed across varied jurisdiction types rather than concentrated in a single buyer or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code does not support relevant procurement activity for vendors selling orthopedic surgical supplies, implants, or related devices.
