UNSPSC 85662762: Destruction of right foot tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right foot 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 0L5V4ZZ

UNSPSC 85662762 Destruction of right foot tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code's nominal definition. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a persistent category misclassification that has routed clinically unrelated health and benefits administration work to a surgical CPT-code taxonomy entry. No solicitations in the recent-opportunities block actually procure the percutaneous endoscopic foot tendon procedure described by the code.

The issuing bodies soliciting health services and benefits administration work span county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara), cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). The geographic activity includes Texas, Florida, California, Arizona, and Washington, with no clear regional concentration. The representative solicitations show demand for medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries occupational medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026); disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations for pension benefit determination (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards, 75 annual applications, due October 16, 2026); and ancillary health professional temporary staffing across multiple specialties (Santa Clara Health System, non-exclusive qualified vendor pool, due October 7, 2026). Given the scope mismatch between the code's surgical name and the actual procurements, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for its nominal purpose and verify the correct UNSPSC category with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities.
