UNSPSC 85662431: Extirpation of matter from left lower leg tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0LCP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662431 Extirpation of matter from left lower leg tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code taxonomy. The recent opportunities posted under this code show little relevance to the code's stated medical procedure scope. Instead, state and local issuers are tagging solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record summary and examination coordination, surgical procedure carve-out benefit program management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve surgical extraction of tendon material. The mismatch between the code name and the work being procured reflects either inconsistent code assignment in source databases or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices classify healthcare and administrative services.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (state department), and Texas (Harris County), with issuers including municipal retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, health systems, and juvenile probation departments. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code shows inconsistent and low-relevance recent procurement activity and warrants screening against alternate UNSPSC assignments before pursuing.
