UNSPSC 85662441: Excision of left knee 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 0LBR3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662441 Excision of left knee tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's nominal medical procedure classification. Instead, the opportunities solicited span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute surgical excision procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county health consortiums, and county health systems. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or erroneously to these opportunities, as the actual work being procured involves healthcare administration, provider networks, occupational health screening, and clinical staffing rather than surgical intervention itself.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); the City of Long Beach's request for a surgical benefit carve-out program managing orthopedic, cardiac, and oncology procedures (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers at 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code shows recent activity but little of it reflects the narrow procedural scope the code nominally describes, suggesting either systematic miscoding at the posting stage or a fundamental mismatch between the code descriptor and state and local procurement practice under it.
