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, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of orthopedic surgical procedures or related medical devices. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code involve comprehensive healthcare administration and service delivery—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) and the actual work being solicited suggests this code is not currently a meaningful signal for state and local health-care procurement activity, and vendors in orthopedic surgery or tendon repair should not rely on this code to identify relevant opportunities.

The few recent opportunities that appeared under this code span Georgia, Florida, and California jurisdictions—the Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), San Mateo County Health (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California). Issuing bodies include county government divisions, county health and human services departments, and municipal fire departments. The Columbus Consolidated Government posted RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services with proposals due May 15, 2026; Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services with a proposal deadline of April 9, 2026; Monroe County posted an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services due April 16, 2026; and San Mateo County issued RFP No. 2025-007 for peer support services for behavioral health workers with proposals due July 2, 2025. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic or surgical services. Vendors should monitor whether this code continues to be used for non-surgical health-care administration or whether it represents a persistent data-quality issue in state and local procurement systems.
