UNSPSC 85662011: Release left hip tendon, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left hip 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 0LNKXZZ

UNSPSC 85662011 Release left hip tendon, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review, surgical care-center networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which align with the code's surgical-procedure classification. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in posted solicitations or administrative tagging that does not reflect the work actually being procured.

The single opportunity with potential relevance is the City of Long Beach RFP HR26753 (proposals due October 7, 2026), which includes hip and orthopedic procedures within a broader surgical carve-out benefit program; however, that solicitation is structured as a Centers of Excellence network and benefit-management contract rather than direct surgical services. The Washington State Department of Transportation's WSF-Medical Surveillance RFP (proposals due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's Independent Medical Evaluation Services RFP (proposals due October 16, 2026) are occupational and disability-benefit evaluations, not surgical services. No opportunities in the recent block reflect surgical procedure delivery or orthopedic surgical staffing. State and local buyers using this code may be misapplying the classification, or surgical-procedure contracting under this code does not surface in current public procurement activity.
