UNSPSC 85662469: Drainage of left hip tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left hip 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 0L9K3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662469 Drainage of left hip tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical drainage procedures. The code appears to reflect a clinical procedure classification that has been misapplied to administrative and operational health services solicitations. State and local buyers are acquiring occupational health examinations, pharmacy administration, independent medical evaluations for benefit determination, specialty surgery networks, emergency inpatient care, and temporary clinical staffing, rather than the orthopedic surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include county health systems, county retirement offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice departments, county benefits consortiums, and municipal retirement boards — a diverse cross-section of health care purchasers and public-sector benefits administrators. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; Collier County issuing an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members; and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity centers on Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with additional activity in Texas. The mismatch between the code's clinical content and the actual scope of recent procurement suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or assignment of a surgical procedure code to administrative health services contracts that should be classified under different commodity categories.
