UNSPSC 85662104: Transfer right ankle tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer right ankle 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 0LXS0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662104 Transfer right ankle tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not reflect surgical ankle procedures. Instead, the code shows mismatch with the actual work being solicited. The recent opportunities — independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical center-of-excellence benefits administration, emergency and inpatient medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — span healthcare administration, benefits program management, occupational health screening, and clinical staffing placement. None of these services involve ankle surgery or the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing qualification pools in multiple ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026), and Collier County RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services with estimated annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (initial proposal deadline April 9, 2026, now historical). The mismatch between the Commodity code designation and the actual procurements suggests this code has been misapplied in recent state and local activity.
