UNSPSC 85662493: Destruction of left upper leg tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left upper 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 0L5M3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662493 Destruction of left upper leg tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure code — does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities indexed under this code span occupational and disability medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve destruction of a lower-extremity tendon or any orthopedic surgical procedure. The tagging appears to reflect a data classification error rather than genuine procurement demand under the code's stated definition.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (Phoenix Retirement Office on behalf of pension boards, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Because the code's nominal scope bears no relation to these procurement activities, this code should be deprioritized pending reclassification or clarification of the underlying taxonomy mapping issue.
