UNSPSC 85663100: Tendons-upper lower body, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This class includes one or more of 19 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the tendons of the upper and lower body with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0L.

UNSPSC 85663100 Tendons-upper lower body, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Class code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical taxonomy classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve percutaneous endoscopic procedures or tendon surgery; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. This mismatch indicates that either the code is being applied incorrectly to these opportunities or the code itself sees little genuine procurement activity at the state and local level in its core specialty medical domain. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting a broad jurisdictional base rather than concentration in a particular government type or region.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no state appearing more than once in the recent-opportunity block. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities directly reflects the code's stated scope of tendon procedures via percutaneous endoscopic approach, suggesting that practitioners should treat this code as inactive for substantive business development purposes or verify the correct code classification with issuing procurement offices before pursuing work in this nominal area.
