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 0LXM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662109 Transfer left upper leg tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the five most recent opportunities tagged under this UNSPSC involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve orthopedic surgery or tendon transfer procedures. This mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding in the underlying procurement database or that the code has been repurposed or conflated with broader healthcare service categories in state and local systems.

The recent opportunities do reflect genuine healthcare procurement activity among counties and municipalities across Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government / Muscogee County), and California (San Mateo County, Santa Monica), with issuing bodies spanning human resources departments, corrections authorities, and fire services. However, because none of these solicitations involve the orthopedic surgical services the code nominally describes, the code is not a reliable predictor of future opportunity flow in this work. Procurement professionals pursuing tendon transfer or orthopedic surgery contracts should verify the actual UNSPSC classification in each RFP or IFB rather than monitor this code for relevant activity.
