UNSPSC 85672249 Repair left foot bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this designation. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to have been misapplied across multiple issuing bodies; the medical and health services being procured are administrative, occupational-health, and managed-care functions rather than specific surgical interventions.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), city retirement systems (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and municipal agencies (City of Long Beach). Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Activity spans Washington State, California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. The code shows little meaningful recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope; procurement professionals should verify code accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged under this designation.
