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 sits at the lowest tier of the taxonomy but bears no relationship to the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure; recent solicitations posted under this code instead address occupational and disability medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve orthopedic or hand surgery. This mismatch indicates either a systematic coding error in the state and local procurement system or misclassification of opportunities at the point of posting; the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The jurisdictions issuing under this code span state health and transportation agencies, county human resources and health systems, and city retirement offices across multiple states. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out for employee health plans, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 258414, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. Because the code assignment does not align with actual procurement scope, this code is not a reliable indicator of market opportunity in hand or orthopedic surgery.
