UNSPSC 85662433 Extirpation of matter from left upper leg tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with its nominal clinical procedure scope; instead, state and local buyers are using it to classify occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These are health system administrative and workforce management services, not surgical procedures. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, city health systems, state departments of transportation, county juvenile probation departments, and county health care consortia. The work being solicited reflects post-procedure care coordination, medical record summarization, benefits administration, and clinical staffing rather than surgical intervention.

The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida based on recent opportunities. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summary preparation and scheduling of independent medical examinations for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under a $750,000 five-year contract; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services for Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians to conduct baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations across 14 ferry locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing services vehicle (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, and surgical services on a non-exclusive basis with no guaranteed work volume. The code appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-matching artifact in these contexts rather than a clinically accurate classification for the actual work being procured.
