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 0LXR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662105 Transfer left knee tendon, open approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope of surgical orthopedic procedures, but recent state and local opportunities show no relevant solicitation activity under this code. The most recent postings tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing qualification pools, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees—none of which involve knee tendon transfer surgery or any orthopedic surgical procedure performed directly by state or local buyers. The mismatch between the code's name and actual procurement activity signals either miscategorization by issuing offices or use of the code as a placeholder without alignment to current buying patterns.

The geographic spread of these tangentially tagged opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (WSDOT), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of actual orthopedic surgical procurement under this code, business development professionals should verify whether opportunities of genuine interest in knee tendon repair or orthopedic surgery services are being tagged to a different UNSPSC code.
