UNSPSC 85661522 Extirpation of matter from right thorax tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect thoracic or tendon-related surgical services. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs for public employee benefit plans. These are administrative healthcare procurement activities and workforce health services, not the orthopedic or thoracic surgical procedures the code nominally covers. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the source system or incidental tagging unrelated to the code's primary intent.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) supporting disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical center-of-excellence networks (due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies include state departments, counties, cities, and county health systems across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The code does not demonstrate consistent or concentrated activity in the surgical procedure space it nominally represents.
