UNSPSC 85663661: Replacement of left upper arm 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 upper arm 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 0LR44KZ

UNSPSC 85663661 Replacement of left upper arm tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities span administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing—none of which directly involve orthopedic or soft-tissue surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomy-coding error at the source or a broad miscategorization of health services procurement at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal retirement systems and human resources offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), and a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with posted dates between July and September 2026 and response deadlines between September and October 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program managing specialty procedures through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The code appears to function as a catch-all for health services procurement rather than a true orthopedic procedure category; firms pursuing health administration, occupational medicine, or benefits management contracts should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
