This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right upper 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 0LCL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662310 Extirpation of matter from right upper leg tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local government procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to the code's nominal clinical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve surgical extirpation of matter from the leg tendon or match the anatomically specific procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly in state and local procurement systems, likely reflecting misclassification rather than genuine demand for the specific surgical procedure described by the code.

Issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged under this code include a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county human resources division (Collier County), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no procurement activity aligned with surgical tendon procedures and warrants careful verification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
