UNSPSC 85662564: Reposition right ankle tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 0LSS4ZZ

UNSPSC 85662564 "Reposition right ankle tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not procure orthopedic surgical services. Instead, the opportunities solicited span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which match the ankle-tendon-repair scope the code name suggests. The mismatch indicates either a cataloging inconsistency in the source data or that this code has been misapplied to administrative and clinical staffing activities rather than specific surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). Recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington; Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, and Washington State Ferries posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's surgical-procedure definition and the administrative and staffing nature of actual opportunities posted under it, this code warrants investigation before pursuing—the procurement signal it reports may reflect system misconfiguration rather than a coherent market for ankle-tendon procedures at the state and local level.
