UNSPSC 85662305 Extirpation of matter from left knee tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—removal of material from a left knee tendon through open surgical approach—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code in state and local government span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs. These solicitations address administrative medical services, benefits program management, and workforce staffing rather than surgical procedures themselves. State and local governments do not procure individual surgical procedures through standard competitive solicitation; instead, they contract for health benefits administration, occupational health compliance, and temporary staffing support. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity suggests either consistent miscoding by posting jurisdictions or that the code is being applied to capture medical-service procurement more broadly rather than the specific surgical intervention the code name implies.

No recent state and local opportunities directly solicit surgical extirpation services or orthopedic surgical procedures under this code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) issued an RFP for surgical benefits carve-out management due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for specialty medical services due September 25, 2026; Collier County (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System (California) solicited temporary health professional staffing with a due date of October 7, 2026. None of these opportunities procures surgical procedures. The code shows no relevant recent activity for firms in orthopedic surgery, ambulatory surgical centers, or surgical services contracting.
