UNSPSC 85662428 Extirpation of matter from right ankle tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with orthopedic surgery or ankle tendon procedures. Instead, the opportunities solicited medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code appears to be a categorical mismatch in state and local procurement tagging; the solicitations themselves are genuinely medical service procurements spanning administrative, occupational, and clinical health administration domains, but they do not relate to the specific procedure named in the code.

The issuing bodies include municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipal health authorities (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county human resources departments (Collier County), and regional public health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with recent response dates ranging from September 25, 2026 through April 9, 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide (due October 9, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no meaningful recent activity relevant to orthopedic surgical procedures.
