UNSPSC 85663623: Supplement left upper arm tendon with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left upper arm tendon with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0LU447Z

UNSPSC 85663623 Supplement left upper arm tendon with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local contracting activity shows no alignment with this specific clinical intervention. Instead, the code is being applied to medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services—categories that fall outside orthopedic surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county juvenile justice departments. This mismatch between the code's formal scope and actual procurement activity suggests the code is either being misapplied by jurisdictions or serves as a catch-all for health-services contracting that lacks a more precise UNSPSC category.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year contract value and responses due October 16, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with responses due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical specialties with responses due October 7, 2026. The City of Long Beach and Collier County also solicited health-related services under this code. Given the disconnect between the Commodity code definition and actual procurement, firms should verify code placement with issuing jurisdictions before investing bid preparation resources; the activity exists but may reflect data-entry error rather than intentional assignment.
