UNSPSC 85661222: Extirpation of matter from right thorax tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right thorax tendon, open 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 0LCC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85661222 Extirpation of matter from right thorax tendon, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title reflects a surgical procedure taxonomy entry that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve thorax tendon procedures; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, and youth detention medical services. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the procedure it nominally describes, and the mismatch suggests either miscategorization in the source data or a taxonomy-to-procurement mapping that has drifted significantly from the code's clinical definition.

The six recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. None of these opportunities involve thoracic surgical services. The Washington State Ferries medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational health examinations across 14 ferry locations; the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards RFP (due October 16, 2026) seeks disability medical record summaries and independent medical evaluations; the Long Beach city employee health plan RFP (due October 7, 2026) seeks specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, heart, and weight-loss procedures; and the Santa Clara Health System RFQ (due October 7, 2026) seeks a temporary staffing pool for ancillary clinical categories. A business development professional evaluating this code for procurement opportunity should verify the actual scope of work intended under UNSPSC 85661222 before pursuing, as the recent activity does not support sustained purchasing of thorax tendon procedures by state and local buyers.
