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 0LXQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662106 Transfer right knee tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with that scope. The sourced solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical centers of excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve knee tendon transfer surgery or orthopedic procedures at the commodity level. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to opportunities that fall under broader healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing domains rather than specific surgical interventions.

The issuing bodies include a state transit authority (Washington State Department of Transportation), county-level jurisdictions (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal entities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), reflecting diverse healthcare procurement needs across public-sector organizations. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The most concrete opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety pensions; the Washington State Ferries' RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 statewide locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits for its PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement pattern aligned to its nominal surgical procedure taxonomy, and pursuit should be informed by the specific healthcare service or staffing category being targeted rather than the code classification itself.
