UNSPSC 85663669: Replacement of left shoulder tendon with autologous 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 autologous 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 0LR247Z

UNSPSC 85663669 Replacement of left shoulder tendon with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent procurement activity at the state and local level. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code solicit medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with surgical procurement or orthopedic implant supply. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either tagging error or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC classification and the issuing bodies' procurement practices.

The issuing bodies in the tagged opportunities span city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), and public health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System), with geographic activity concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas. Because none of the opportunities reflect the code's stated scope of orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue replacement, firms pursuing state and local procurement in this UNSPSC category should verify code assignment directly with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit strategy.
