UNSPSC 85662301 Extirpation of matter from left foot tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local contract activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent solicitations tagged under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve foot tendon procedures. This mismatch indicates that the code has been misapplied to opportunities in the broader medical and health services domain rather than orthopedic surgical procedures.

The recent activity under this code comes from a mix of state agencies, county governments, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services with a response deadline of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with a proposal due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach is seeking surgical center-of-excellence benefit management with proposals due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with a response deadline of October 7, 2026. This code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific procedural work it nominally represents.
