This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right shoulder tendon with synthetic 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 0LU14JZ

UNSPSC 85663631 Supplement right shoulder tendon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical name refers to a specific surgical procedure — orthopedic shoulder reconstruction using synthetic material — yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code concern disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve procurement of shoulder surgical implants, devices, or the procedure itself. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county health benefit consortia, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. The code appears to capture miscategorized health services opportunities rather than orthopedic device or surgical procedure procurement.

State and local governments are not currently buying shoulder tendon supplements or related surgical implants under this code based on available recent activity. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RTMRFP26001, RFP due October 16, 2026) is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach (HR26753, RFP due October 7, 2026) is requesting surgical benefit carve-out program administration covering knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures among others; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP20260825, RFP due October 9, 2026) is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, RFP due October 7, 2026) is establishing a temporary staffing pool for ancillary clinical categories. This code exhibits a tagging mismatch that renders it unactionable for vendors pursuing orthopedic implant or surgical procedure sales to state and local buyers. Business development professionals should verify category accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
