UNSPSC 85662504: Transfer right ankle tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer right ankle tendon, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0LXS4ZZ

UNSPSC 85662504 Transfer right ankle tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code are pursuing independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare coordination, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the surgical transfer of an ankle tendon. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code is being used as a catch-all for broader healthcare procurement activity unrelated to its Commodity-level specificity.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block span cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), indicating fragmented healthcare administration and benefits procurement across multiple jurisdictional tiers. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach pursuing a surgical and medical procedure carve-out program for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferries personnel across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, and Washington. The code shows no cohesive procurement signal aligned to its stated clinical scope.
