UNSPSC 85662306: Extirpation of matter from right knee tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right knee 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 0LCQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662306 Extirpation of matter from right knee tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. The posted solicitations instead capture demand for occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for detained youth, and specialty medical referral networks. None of these services involve the procedure named in the code's title, and the mismatch suggests a classification inconsistency rather than authentic demand for the procedure itself under this UNSPSC designation.

The issuing bodies across the recent records span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting fragmented procurement by health systems, pension boards, and human resources departments. The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations at $750,000 over five years, and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program RFP (due October 7, 2026) covering Centers of Excellence networks. State and local procurement under this code classification appears to be driven by mistagging rather than authentic demand for the specific knee procedure the code nominally describes.
