This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 0LBN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662444 Excision of right lower leg tendon, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities currently posted under this code. The source records show no recent solicitations for surgical procedures or orthopedic services matching the code's nominal clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code center on occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans. These are administrative health services and workforce staffing functions, not direct clinical procedures. The mismatch signals either a cataloging error at the issuing body level or that this code does not see active state and local procurement volume under its intended medical procedure scope.

The single issuer posting multiple opportunities in this code cluster is the County of Santa Clara Health System, which is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, medical social work, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room, and therapy services). Beyond that, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out for employee health plans), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth) each posted once. Geographic activity spans California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas. No recent opportunities in this code reflect the surgical procedure taxonomy the code name suggests, indicating limited or no current state and local procurement demand for direct orthopedic surgery services under this classification.
