UNSPSC 85662438: Excision of right foot tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right foot 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 0LBV3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662438 Excision of right foot tendon, percutaneous approach, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure code, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification center on medical services procurement—independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve foot tendon excision or the procedural specifics the code name implies. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or the use of clinical procedure codes as administrative tags in state and local procurement systems without semantic alignment to the goods and services actually being solicited.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span diverse state and local jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity clusters in the Southwest and West, with Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida all represented in recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summaries and physician examinations for public safety pension applicants, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid on August 31, 2026). Business development professionals should treat this code as presently misclassified and verify procurement intent through direct outreach to issuing bodies rather than relying on the code's stated procedural scope.
