UNSPSC 85662931: Resection of perineum tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of perineum 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 0LTH4ZZ

UNSPSC 85662931 Resection of perineum tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with orthopedic surgery. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve perineal tendon resection. The mismatch suggests this code may be incorrectly applied to broader health services procurement or reflects a classification artifact. State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice authorities, and county human resources divisions, indicating diverse issuing bodies across public health, benefits administration, and occupational safety functions.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions with no single dominant buyer. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for services across 14 Washington ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) with a $750,000 five-year contract ceiling; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program; Santa Clara County Health System sought temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content, buyers pursuing activity under this code should verify the issuing body's intent and treat the category as a signal of potential classification ambiguity rather than reliable taxonomic guidance.
