UNSPSC 85662419: Release left lower leg tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left lower leg 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 0LNP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662419 Release left lower leg tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the medical services state and local governments are actually soliciting today. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this code involve disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical networks, temporary clinical staffing qualification pools, and emergency care for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic tendon release surgery. The mismatch suggests a tagging or taxonomy error in the state and local procurement systems, and the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

State and local issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted medical services solicitations under this code in the past two months, but none are procurement for the procedure itself. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) issued an RFP due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services due April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing across multiple ancillary specialties, due October 7, 2026. These opportunities represent administrative health services, occupational health compliance, pharmaceutical program management, and temporary staffing—fundamentally different from surgical procedure procurement. Firms pursuing orthopedic or surgical services should verify code assignment with the issuing body before committing resources, as this Commodity code does not currently signal relevant procurement activity in the state and local market.
