UNSPSC 85662450: Drainage of left foot tendon with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left foot tendon with drainage device, 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 0L9W30Z

UNSPSC 85662450 Drainage of left foot tendon with drainage device, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows limited alignment between the code's nominal medical procedure scope and actual state and local purchasing activity. Recent opportunities solicited under this code do not involve drainage procedures or orthopedic device implantation; instead, issuing bodies are procuring independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to these health services administration and staffing solicitations, which fall outside the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local health systems, retirement boards, counties, and transit authorities are using this code to tag broad medical services contracting, but the recent opportunities reflect administrative, diagnostic, and preventive health services rather than tendon drainage procedures with devices.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas), and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) focused on disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians across 14 ferry locations; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, spine, heart, and oncology procedures; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code warrants close review for misclassification before building a pursuit strategy around procedure-specific capability.
