UNSPSC 85662735 Drainage of right knee tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that reflects medical procedure classification language misaligned with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures. State and local procurement offices use UNSPSC codes to classify goods and services, and this code's nominal scope (a specific surgical technique) does not match the administrative health services, occupational medicine, and benefits management work being solicited. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source records or a misapplication of medical procedure codes to health services procurement activity.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and boards (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), and a municipal employee benefits program (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, for disability benefit determination support with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFP due October 7, 2026, seeking a qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical roles. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the specific procedure named in its taxonomy; pursue only if your firm operates in occupational medicine, medical record review, health benefits administration, or temporary clinical staffing.
