This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0L5Q4ZZ

UNSPSC 85662766 Destruction of right knee tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) describes a specific surgical procedure code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect a broad range of health services procurement — independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve knee tendon destruction procedures or orthopedic surgery provision. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry misapplied to administrative and operational health services contracting, creating a fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually buying under this designation.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources and benefits consortiums (Collier County), and large county health systems (County of Santa Clara). The geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program with Centers of Excellence networks (proposals due October 7, 2026, anticipated award January–March 2027), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (proposals due October 9, 2026). Given the systematic mismatch between the code definition and actual procurement scope, the code shows little relevant activity for vendors seeking orthopedic surgical service opportunities or medical device suppliers in the state and local market.
