UNSPSC 85663667: Replacement of left shoulder 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 shoulder 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 0LR24KZ

UNSPSC 85663667 Replacement of left shoulder tendon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows little activity directly aligned with the surgical procedure named in the code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, specialty healthcare services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which match the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county commissioners' offices (Collier County), and municipal human resources departments (Long Beach). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, and Washington, with no clear pattern of repeat buyers across multiple solicitations under this code.

The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the recent opportunities suggests this Commodity code may be incorrectly applied to health services procurements that fall under administrative, staffing, or managed-care categories rather than surgical procedures. The few sourced opportunities with defined response dates include Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFQ (due October 7, 2026). Absent strong alignment between the code definition and actual solicitation scope, this code warrants review for coding accuracy before making pursue decisions.
