UNSPSC 85662700: Tendons-lower extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part C

This class includes one or more of 19 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the tendons of the lower extremities with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0L.

UNSPSC 85662700 Tendons-lower extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part C is a Class code showing little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure or device classification, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with that scope. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support worker services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve lower-extremity tendon procedures or orthopedic implants. This mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the state and local procurement system or that the code is being used as a catchall for health services procurements unrelated to its intended taxonomy definition.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies — Muscogee County Prison (Georgia) seeking inmate medical and pharmacy services via RFP posted April 15, 2026 with a May 15 due date; Collier County, Florida (Human Resources Division) soliciting Pharmacy Benefit Management Services via RFP with a due date of April 9, 2026; Monroe County, Florida requesting Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services via RFP due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County, California issuing an MHSA Innovation Pilot Project RFP for peer support services; and the Santa Monica Fire Department soliciting a Medical Director via RFP posted September 25, 2025. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and actual procurements tagged under it, vendors should verify code accuracy directly with issuing bodies before investing pursuit effort.
