UNSPSC 85662008: Release right lower leg tendon, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right lower leg tendon, external 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 0LNNXZZ

UNSPSC 85662008, Release right lower leg tendon, external approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic tendon release procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging or taxonomy error in the source data rather than substantive procurement under the code's stated scope.

The recent opportunities show issuing bodies across state departments, county human resources divisions, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices, operating primarily in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). No current activity directly supports pursuit of this code for orthopedic surgical procedures.
