UNSPSC 85662429 Extirpation of matter from left knee tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical taxonomy label. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations, health professional temporary staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. The code appears to have been applied to administrative and benefits management services rather than the procedural extraction work its name describes.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county procurement offices (Collier County Board of Commissioners), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), city benefits administration (City of Long Beach), and county juvenile justice departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP (due October 7, 2026). Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The code's application to benefits administration and occupational health services rather than orthopedic surgery suggests either a classification mismatch in recent postings or a substantial shift in how this commodity code is being tagged by state and local procurement offices.
