UNSPSC 85663511: Release left lower arm and wrist tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left lower arm and wrist tendon, percutaneous 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 0LN63ZZ

UNSPSC 85663511 Release left lower arm and wrist tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with orthopedic or surgical services. Instead, the tagged opportunities reflect healthcare administration and management services — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management (PBM), virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical intervention or musculoskeletal procedures. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to these solicitations, as they span occupational health, employee benefits administration, mental health support, and emergency medical oversight rather than orthopedic surgery.

The recent opportunities originate from a geographically dispersed set of issuing bodies: the Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County and Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California). Specific recent examples include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees (due April 9, 2026, with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services covering 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The San Mateo County BHRS peer support pilot (due July 2, 2025) and the Santa Monica Fire Department medical director RFP (due October 16, 2025) round out the recent activity. Given the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual opportunities posted, this code does not currently represent a reliable market signal for state and local orthopedic or surgical service procurement.
