This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left hip tendon, open approach.

UNSPSC 85662311 Extirpation of matter from left hip tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities span administrative health services, benefits management, and workforce staffing rather than a single surgical intervention. State and local governments do not appear to be procuring orthopedic surgical services through this code designation; instead, the opportunities indicate a data-tagging mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the actual work being bought.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix independent medical evaluations), California (City of Long Beach surgical carve-out benefits and County of Santa Clara health professional staffing), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency and specialty medical services RFI), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). Issuing bodies range across state departments, counties, cities, and health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), the City of Phoenix retirement-board independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), and the County of Santa Clara non-exclusive temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant activity for vendors focused on orthopedic surgical procurement.
