UNSPSC 85662724: Excision of right hip tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right hip 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 0LBJ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85662724 Excision of right hip tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not reflect the actual work being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determination, surgical benefit carve-out program management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures. The code's nominal definition suggests a specific surgical intervention, yet the solicitations are uniformly administrative, occupational health, or staffing services. This mismatch indicates either a data classification error or a significant divergence between the code's intended scope and how state and local procurement offices are currently applying it.

The recent opportunities show no coherent issuing-body or geographic pattern tied to actual surgical services. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested disability evaluation and medical record services; the City of Long Beach sought surgical benefit carve-out program management; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty care in a detention setting; Collier County requested pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System sought temporary ancillary clinical staffing. No state or local body has recently posted a request for actual hip tendon excision services or similar operative procedures. The code appears inactive or severely miscoded within the state and local procurement ecosystem.
