UNSPSC 85663656: Replacement of left lower arm and wrist tendon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left lower arm and wrist 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 0LR64JZ

UNSPSC 85663656 Replacement of left lower arm and wrist tendon with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal surgical procedure scope and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures but instead cover occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical care coordination, and disability medical evaluation — none of which align with the code's stated description of a specific surgical intervention. The issuing bodies span city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation agencies, indicating fragmented procurement activity across different government service lines rather than coordinated surgical procedure contracting.

Geographic activity in recent opportunities centers on Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) providing disability medical record summaries and comprehensive medical examinations for approximately 75 public safety personnel retirement applications under a five-year contract with maximum compensation of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's disconnect from actual procurement activity suggests either a data classification error or that this code is rarely used for its nominal purpose in state and local contracting.
