UNSPSC 85661711: Release head and neck tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release head and neck tendon, open 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 0LN00ZZ

UNSPSC 85661711 Release head and neck tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with orthopedic or surgical services. Instead, the four most recent solicitations span inmate healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve head and neck tendon release surgery or any surgical intervention. The code appears to have been applied to these healthcare procurement opportunities through a data-entry error or misclassification at the point of solicitation posting, creating a disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual work being bought.

The recent activity is concentrated in county health and human services departments across Florida and Georgia. The Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County, Georgia) issued an RFP on April 15, 2026 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for its prison facility, due May 15, 2026, with a current monthly spend of $95,537.71. Collier County, Florida (Board of County Commissioners) posted an RFP on April 9, 2026 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million. Monroe County, Florida issued an RFP on March 14, 2026 for virtual primary and urgent care services serving 2,300 county members, with proposals due April 16, 2026. San Mateo County, California's Behavioral Health and Recovery Services posted an RFP on February 25, 2026 for a Mental Health Services Act peer support pilot project totaling $580,000 over three years. Because the code shows no genuine recent activity in head and neck surgical services and the posted opportunities are miscoded healthcare administration and clinical service procurements, this code warrants skip status pending corrected classification by the issuing bodies.
