UNSPSC 85661526: Excision of right abdomen tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right abdomen tendon, 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 0LBF4ZZ

UNSPSC 85661526 Excision of right abdomen tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the source contains no contract opportunities soliciting surgical services under this code. Instead, the six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which match the code's surgical procedure scope.

This mismatch suggests either inconsistent code assignment by issuing offices or that the code is being used as a placeholder classification where the actual procurement falls outside surgical procedure categories. The opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (WSDOT), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), indicating geographic scatter without concentrated activity in any region. No recent solicitations for actual surgical excision or endoscopic procedure services appear in the source. Prospective vendors should clarify with issuing bodies whether opportunities posted under this code will continue to diverge from its stated surgical scope, and if so, whether the underlying demand aligns with their service offerings.
