UNSPSC 85661528: Excision of right thorax tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right thorax 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 0LBC4ZZ

UNSPSC 85661528 Excision of right thorax tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not map to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this medical procedure code include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve thoracic tendon excision or match the code's clinical procedure scope. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement system or misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the services jurisdictions are actually buying.

The issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code span diverse state and local structures: city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington), and county commissioners (Collier County, Long Beach). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Florida, Arizona, Washington, and Texas, reflecting the jurisdictions of the recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Without meaningful alignment between the code's stated medical procedure and the actual work being procured, treating this Commodity as a vehicle for thoracic tendon surgery is not supported by current state and local procurement patterns.
