UNSPSC 85662413: Release left foot tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left foot tendon, percutaneous 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 0LNW3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662413 Release left foot tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical procedure procurement. Instead, they address medical evaluation, surveillance, staffing, and benefit management services — administrative and occupational health functions rather than actual surgical interventions. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its procedural scope.

State and local jurisdictions posting opportunities tagged to this code are pursuing independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing pool qualification, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, and youth detention medical care. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, response due October 7, 2026); and the City of Long Beach sought surgical procedure carve-out benefits management (RFP HR26753, response due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies include state departments, county health systems, retirement boards, and municipal governments. Geographic spread includes Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a discrete surgical procedure) and actual procurement activity (medical administration and occupational health services) suggests the code is being misapplied to opportunities that do not involve tendon release procedures, and firms should verify code accuracy before pursuing opportunities in this category.
