UNSPSC 85662316 Excision of right ankle tendon, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under it. The code's abstract scope—a specific surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the contracts state and local governments are actually posting under this code number. The recent opportunities involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit program administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing placement. None of these services involve the surgical excision of ankle tendons or any surgical procedure itself; they are administrative, staffing, and clinical-oversight functions. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county health systems, and county commissioners' offices—a mix spanning municipal, county, and state jurisdictions.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (state-level), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, for approximately 75 annual disability determinations under a five-year, $750,000 maximum contract); the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, across 14 ferry terminals with two-year initial term and extension options); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award staffing RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, establishing a five-year qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive, no-guarantee basis). The code shows recent activity but reflects a tagging error—the opportunities solicited have no operational or clinical relationship to the procedure named in the code's scope.
