UNSPSC 85662463: Drainage of right lower leg tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 0L9N3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662463 Drainage of right lower leg tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, shows minimal alignment with its nominal medical-procedure scope. The code does not correspond meaningfully to the health-related services state and local agencies are currently soliciting. Recent opportunities tagged under this code include independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic drainage procedures. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal employee benefits programs, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, and county health systems, indicating broad cross-sector health procurement activity; however, the divergence between the code's stated procedure and the work actually being solicited suggests a classification mismatch rather than genuine commodity activity.

The geographic spread of recent solicitation activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no clear concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under a five-year, $750,000 maximum contract), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code shows no relevant recent activity for the orthopedic procedure it nominally describes and warrants reassessment for classification accuracy.
