UNSPSC 85663530: Excision of right upper arm tendon, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right upper arm 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 0LB33ZZ

UNSPSC 85663530 Excision of right upper arm tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations posted under this UNSPSC tag do not involve surgical tendon procedures. Instead, state and local bodies have used this code to flag requests for independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out programs for employee benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that the code has been adopted as a catch-all placeholder for health services contracting where no more precise UNSPSC code exists.

The issuing bodies span county government (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal government (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional health systems. Geographic activity concentrates in California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State (Ferries and WSDOT), with no dominant jurisdiction. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit medical record summaries for approximately 75 annual applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) managing pharmacy programs for approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with estimated historical annual spending of $8.7 million. The code shows no coherent recent market signal and warrants close attention to issuing-body UNSPSC tagging practices before committing resources.
