UNSPSC 85661313: Extirpation of matter from left abdomen tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left abdomen tendon, percutaneous 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 0LCG3ZZ

UNSPSC 85661313 Extirpation of matter from left abdomen tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical-procedure classification inconsistent with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities do not involve surgical extirpation or percutaneous tendon procedures; instead, they span occupational health examinations, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing placement, and surgical carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans. The code shows no meaningful alignment between its nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification today.

The issuing bodies posting under the code include state health agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation for ferries occupational surveillance), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, Long Beach), and regional health systems. Geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for physician-supervised baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry locations; the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach surgical carve-out benefit RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence networks covering orthopedic, spine, cardiac, and oncology procedures; and Santa Clara County's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) spanning audiology, radiology, gastroenterology, and therapy services. The code appears to have been misapplied to administrative health services procurement; no recent opportunities reflect actual surgical extirpation procedures.
