UNSPSC 85662415: Release left ankle tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left ankle 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 0LNT3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662415 Release left ankle tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with actual procedure coding or direct surgical services. The opportunities instead reflect medical evaluation, staffing placement, pharmacy benefit management, and occupational health surveillance — none of which involve ankle tendon release. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or that this code is being misapplied to capture healthcare service procurement broadly rather than the specific procedure it names. State and local bodies posting under this code include county health systems, county boards of commissioners, state transportation departments, city retirement offices, and county juvenile probation departments. The scope of actual solicitations ranges from independent disability medical evaluations for pension boards, to surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, to occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, to temporary staffing pools for hospital ancillary services.

Activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services including disability record summaries and physician examinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026. The City of Long Beach issued RFP HR26753 for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence, with proposals due October 7, 2026 and anticipated contract execution by April 1, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's stated procedure and the healthcare-service purchasing activity actually tagged under it, treat this code with caution; opportunities may be miscoded and would benefit from verification against actual scope documents before pursuit.
