UNSPSC 85662767: Destruction of left lower leg tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left lower leg 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 0L5P4ZZ

UNSPSC 85662767 Destruction of left lower leg tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not align with the code's abstract name. The most recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension-system disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic surgical intervention on lower extremities. The code shows a significant mismatch between its stated scope and actual procurement activity: issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, county health systems, and juvenile justice authorities, but the work solicited spans occupational health compliance, benefits administration, and clinical staffing rather than surgical procedures.

The recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, with activity across municipal governments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and special districts. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) providing disability medical record summaries and physician examinations for public safety pension determinations; Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers across 14 locations; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope—procurement under this code appears to reflect a tagging mismatch rather than substantive state and local demand for lower leg tendon destruction procedures.
