UNSPSC 85661500: Tendons-trunk torso, anterior posterior, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 19 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the tendons of the anterior and posterior trunk and torso with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0L.

UNSPSC 85661500 Tendons-trunk torso, anterior posterior, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part B is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The six state and local opportunities posted since mid-August 2026 and tagged with this code describe independent medical evaluations for retirement disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's stated focus on percutaneous endoscopic surgical procedures on anterior-posterior trunk tendons. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source records or that this code is being applied to general medical services procurement outside its intended commodity scope. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources divisions (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County, Harris County), and municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), but the diversity reflects the breadth of the misclassified opportunities rather than a coherent procurement category.

Geographic activity is scattered across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026), valued at $750,000 over five years and focused on disability medical record review and examination coordination for public safety retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 Washington ferry system locations; and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026), structured as a non-exclusive, multiple-award vendor pool with no guaranteed volume. The fundamental misalignment between the code's medical-device nomenclature and the actual work being procured suggests that pursuit under this code carries significant classification risk.
