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 0LSN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662168 Reposition right lower leg tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect no actual procurement of surgical services aligned with that code's scope. Instead, the opportunities show procurement of occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve repositioning of a lower leg tendon. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual goods and services being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding at issuing bodies or that this code tier does not capture the substantive work state and local procurement offices are performing.

Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations across Washington (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31); the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program with Centers of Excellence networks for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor qualification pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI seeking hospital entities and specialty medical providers for emergency and inpatient care for detained youth (due September 25, 2026). Issuing bodies include state transportation agencies, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county probation departments. Geographic activity appears concentrated in California (Santa Clara, Long Beach, Collier County context), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington state, and Texas (Harris County), with no clear pattern suggesting this code has material recent activity aligned with its procedural descriptor.
