UNSPSC 85662322: Excision of right upper leg tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0LBL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662322 Excision of right upper leg tendon, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with surgical services—they describe occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical-procedure carve-out benefit programs for government employees and retirees. The code appears to have been misapplied to opportunities that fall outside orthopedic surgical practice. No issuing body is soliciting the actual procedure named in the code.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the opportunities actually posted suggests either a systematic classification error in the state and local procurement data sources or that UNSPSC 85662322 is not the appropriate taxonomy tier for health benefits administration, occupational health services, or temporary medical staffing. The recent activity—a disability medical evaluation RFP from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office due October 16, 2026; an occupational medical surveillance RFP from the Washington State Department of Transportation due October 9, 2026; and a temporary health professional staffing pool from Santa Clara County Health System due October 7, 2026—represents legitimate government healthcare procurement but does not map to orthopedic surgery. Firms pursuing state and local health services opportunities should verify the relevant UNSPSC classification with the issuing body's procurement office before submitting responses to opportunities tagged under this code.
