This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 0L5P3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662491 Destruction of left lower leg tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical procedure scope and the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The code's technical name refers to a specific surgical intervention, yet the actual solicitations currently posted under this code encompass broader occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve percutaneous tendon destruction procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, and county juvenile probation departments, spanning Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida.

Recent opportunities under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services covering approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications (due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits managing approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated medical procedure description, suggesting either a classification mismatch in the underlying procurement data or a need to clarify whether this code is the appropriate category for the health services and staffing work appearing under it.
