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 0LX00ZZ

UNSPSC 85661701 Transfer head and neck tendon, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity shows minimal alignment with this scope. The code shows no recent opportunities directly soliciting transfer head and neck tendon procedures or related surgical implants, devices, or supplies. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center networks, and youth detention medical services—none of which are orthopedic surgical procedures or related products. The mismatch between the code's name and actual purchasing activity suggests either miscoding at the point of posting or that state and local procurement offices use this Commodity code as a catch-all for medical services and health plan administration outside its nominal scope.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include county-level health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), city employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a county board of county commissioners (Collier County). Geographic spread spans California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Puget Sound ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of current opportunities aligned with the code's stated surgical procedure scope, pursuing activity under this Commodity code warrants confirmation that target agencies are actively buying transfer head and neck tendon procedures or subordinate supplies and services.
