UNSPSC 85662317 Excision of left knee tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records for medical evaluation, staffing, and benefits management services — not for the surgical procedure its name suggests. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect a disconnect between the code's nominal surgical scope and the actual services being procured. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, and county commissioners' procurement divisions. State and local governments are buying occupational medical surveillance and baseline examinations for transportation workers; disability medical record summary preparation and independent medical evaluations for pension board determinations; temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical services; emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; and pharmacy benefit management administration — none of which involve surgical excision procedures.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) to support pension board disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring with 40 percent weight on price); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) across thirteen ancillary clinical categories. The code shows active recent procurement but minimal alignment with its stated surgical commodity description.
