This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right lower leg 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 0LCN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662308 Extirpation of matter from right lower leg tendon, open approach is a Commodity code with a stated scope focused on a narrow surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little relevance to the code's nominal title. The opportunities actually being solicited involve occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention medical services — none of which align with orthopedic surgical extirpation. The mismatch suggests either miscoding on the part of issuing bodies or a data classification error. State and local governments are using this code designation, but the actual work being purchased falls well outside the code's stated medical procedure scope.

The geographic spread of opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for disability medical evaluations due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out due October 7, 2026, and County of Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing RFQ due October 7, 2026), Washington State (WSDOT Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for youth detention medical services due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County PBM services RFP with an April 9, 2026 deadline, though that date has passed relative to today's date of October 20, 2026). The issuing bodies are predominantly county governments and state agencies, with municipal participation from Phoenix and Long Beach. Because the opportunities show material misalignment with the code's stated scope, the code itself is not a reliable indicator of active procurement demand in this area, and business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities listed under this designation.
