This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right upper arm tendon, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0LC34ZZ

UNSPSC 85663730 Extirpation of matter from right upper arm tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure nomenclature and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a highly specific orthopedic surgical technique; in practice, state and local governments are using this code tag for occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, and surgical benefit carve-out networks for employee health plans. The actual purchasing activity spans medical record review and summarization, occupational health examinations, specialty pharmacy services, temporary clinical staffing placement, and Centers of Excellence networks for bundled surgical procedures. Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, and city employee health programs. The code does not cleanly map to a coherent commodity family, and bidders tagged under it should treat the code assignment as a data artifact rather than a reliable guide to scope.

Recent activity appears across Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational surveillance RFP), Arizona (City of Phoenix independent medical evaluations), California (County of Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing and City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County juvenile detention medical services). The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026, requiring examinations across 14 ferry system locations with board-certified occupational physicians (RFP 20260825). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services including medical record summaries and disability examination scheduling, with proposals due October 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years, and written inquiries due September 29, 2026 (RTMRFP26001). The City of Long Beach is seeking surgical and medical procedure carve-out proposals for employee health plans covering approximately 3,800 members, with questions due September 9, 2026 and proposals due October 7, 2026 (HR26753). Given the code's misalignment with actual solicitation content, practitioners should monitor the opportunities directly rather than rely on this code for market segmentation.
