UNSPSC 85663600: Tendons-upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 19 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the tendons of the upper extremities 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 85663600 Tendons-upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part A is a Class code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—orthopedic surgical procedures on upper-extremity tendons—does not match the opportunities posted under this code, which instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans. State and local procurement offices have tagged these diverse health-services opportunities under this code, but none involve the orthopedic procedure supply or surgical-services delivery the code name describes.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31), and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for the orthopedic surgical procedures its designation implies.
