UNSPSC 85662417: Release left knee tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left knee 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 0LNR3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662417 "Release left knee tendon, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or knee tendon release. The code's nominal scope describes a specific percutaneous surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities span occupational health compliance, disability benefit administration, health plan benefits management, and clinical staffing services. This mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification in the source data or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement rather than for actual surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include a city pension board (Phoenix), municipal health plans (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice department (Harris County), a county health consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County) — representing the full range of state and local buying bodies. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. The nearest relevant recent opportunity is the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), but this involves baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers, not surgical interventions. Without recent opportunities that genuinely involve orthopedic surgical procedures, this code shows little decision-relevant activity for firms pursuing state and local contracts in the surgical services space.
