UNSPSC 85662706: Extirpation of matter from right knee tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right knee 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 0LCQ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85662706 Extirpation of matter from right knee tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs — none of which involve knee tendon extirpation or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the source or a fundamental misalignment between the code definition and how state and local procurement offices are applying it in practice. State and local governments issuing under this code are primarily county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile justice departments.

Recent opportunities show minimal relevance to the code's stated scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a response date of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach solicited proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence) with a response date of October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with a response date of October 7, 2026. Activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, and Washington, with additional procurement in Texas and Florida. The code shows little actionable recent activity aligned to its nominal surgical procedure definition.
