UNSPSC 85661914: Excision of head and neck tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of head and neck 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 0LB04ZZ

UNSPSC 85661914 Excision of head and neck tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet recent solicitations posted under this code do not reflect procurement for surgical services, medical device components, or procedure-specific supplies. Instead, state and local bodies have tagged administrative health services—including independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—under this code, indicating a significant mismatch between the code's clinical nomenclature and the actual work being bought.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (RFP 25-8414). Activity is distributed across state departments, county health systems, and municipal pension boards in Arizona, Washington, Florida, and California. The code appears to serve as a catch-all category for health-related administrative and support services rather than clinical procedure procurement, making it of limited value for firms focused on surgical supplies, instrumentation, or procedure-specific products.
