UNSPSC 85662716: Excision of right ankle tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0LBS4ZZ

UNSPSC 85662716 Excision of right ankle tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not procure surgical services matching that scope. Recent solicitations instead reflect healthcare administration, occupational medicine surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities within state and local procurement systems or that this code is not actively used for state and local healthcare procurement.

The recent-opportunities block contains six records posted between July and September 2026, none of which represent demand for ankle tendon excision or comparable surgical services. The City of Phoenix is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical procedure carve-out networks for Centers of Excellence (knee, hip, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, oncology)—but not ankle procedures; the Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. No issuing body across these opportunities is soliciting orthopedic surgical services, let alone ankle tendon procedures. Business development professionals should treat this code as dormant for state and local procurement purposes unless the opportunities block reflects a coding error or the code's use within a specific state procurement system differs materially from recent national activity.
