UNSPSC 85662361: Destruction of left foot tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left foot 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 0L5W0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662361 "Destruction of left foot tendon, open approach" is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical interventions on musculoskeletal structures. Instead, the sourced solicitations cover occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being procured under it in the state and local market. The opportunities involve medical administration, occupational surveillance, and staffing coordination rather than orthopedic surgery or tendon repair procedures.

The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdiction types: a city retirement office (Phoenix), two city personnel departments (Long Beach and Seattle-area Washington State Ferries), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for its stated orthopedic surgical scope and should not be pursued based on current procurement signals under this taxonomy identifier.
