UNSPSC 85662163: Reposition left ankle tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left 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 0LST0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662163 Reposition left ankle tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities show minimal activity aligned with this specific clinical intervention. Instead, the code's recent solicitations span occupational and disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which map directly to ankle tendon repositioning. The issuing bodies include state departments, county governments, city retirement offices, and public health systems; among them, the Washington State Department of Transportation and the City of Phoenix appear as repeat or significant issuers of medical services procurement. The code shows no concentration in a particular vendor type or service model; rather, it reflects heterogeneous demand across state and local medical administration and occupational health functions.

Geographic activity appears across Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with representation in urban county and municipal jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code is being used as a catch-all for medical services procurement that does not fit a narrower classification; business developers should verify code alignment with individual solicitations before pursuing.
