This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left lower arm and wrist tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85663735, Excision of left lower arm and wrist tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with the code's stated scope. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code as a broad catch-all for health services contracting rather than for the specific orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally identifies.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and health systems; no entity appears as a repeat buyer under this code in the recent sample. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for firefighter and police pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical center-of-excellence benefits management for municipal employees (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual scope of recent solicitations suggests this code warrants verification against the contracting jurisdiction's intent before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
