UNSPSC 85662420: Release right lower leg tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right 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 0LNN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662420 Release right lower leg tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code center on occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or lower-leg tendon release operations. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the procurement system or a systematic misapplication of the code to health-services solicitations that fall outside its surgical procedure scope.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with recent activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with an October 16, 2026 due date and a $750,000 five-year contract ceiling; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services with an October 9, 2026 deadline; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs with an October 7, 2026 due date; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing with an October 7, 2026 deadline. No solicitations in the recent-opportunities block involve the surgical procedure the code nominally describes, indicating minimal relevant procurement activity under this classification.
