UNSPSC 85663649: Replacement of left hand tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left hand tendon with nonautologous 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 0LR84KZ

UNSPSC 85663649 Replacement of left hand tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity bears little relevance to actual purchasing patterns. The recent opportunities tagged under this code — disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits management, occupational health surveillance, youth detention health services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — describe health insurance administration, occupational medicine, and staffing coordination rather than surgical tissue replacement procedures. No recent solicitation seeks procurement of tendon grafts, implant materials, or related surgical supplies or devices. The code's narrow clinical specificity (left hand tendon replacement via percutaneous endoscopic approach using nonautologous tissue) does not align with the administrative and staffing services that state and local issuing bodies are actually requesting under this code designation.

Recent activity shows jurisdictions across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington posting health-services-related RFPs and RFQs, but none targets the surgical procedure or materials the code nominally describes. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) requests surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for a PPO plan; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) procures occupational medical surveillance; and Collier County (RFP 25-8414) solicits pharmacy benefit management. The code appears to be a mislabeling or administrative misclassification by issuing bodies, and the lack of alignment between the code's anatomical scope and the actual solicitations suggests procurement activity under this code warrants careful verification before pursuing.
