UNSPSC 85663426: Extirpation of matter from right hand tendon, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right hand tendon, open 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 0LC70ZZ

UNSPSC 85663426, Extirpation of matter from right hand tendon, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on the right hand; however, recent solicitations tagged under this code address occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve hand tendon surgery or extirpation procedures. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the tagging system or that the code is not actively used for substantive procurement in state and local contracting.

No recent state and local contract opportunities reflect work that is actually germane to the code's stated scope. The opportunities posted under this code include occupational medical surveillance from the Washington State Department of Transportation (due October 9, 2026), independent medical evaluation services from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (due October 16, 2026), a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program from the City of Long Beach (due October 7, 2026), an information request from Harris County Juvenile Probation Department for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management services from Collier County (due April 9, 2026), and temporary health professional staffing from Santa Clara County Health System (due October 7, 2026). These opportunities span state health agencies, county government, city procurement offices, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but they represent administrative and clinical workforce services rather than surgical procedures. For firms evaluating whether to pursue opportunities under this code, the classification mismatch warrants direct verification with the issuing body before investment in bid preparation.
