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 0LQQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662242 Repair right knee tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that, in its nominal taxonomy entry, names a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with surgical repair work; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical center-of-excellence networks. The code shows no recent solicitations for knee tendon repair as a clinical service line. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation, and county human resources divisions—a diverse mix without a dominant repeat buyer pattern across the opportunities posted.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services, including disability record summary and physician examination coordination for retirement benefit determinations—a scope entirely distinct from surgical repair. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted an RFQ (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program offering pre- and post-care through Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures—a benefits-management contracting vehicle rather than direct surgical delivery. Additional opportunities from Harris County Juvenile Probation (RFI, responses due September 25, 2026), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management RFP, deadline April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing RFQ, due October 7, 2026) reinforce the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing patterns. The code does not appear to drive meaningful state and local procurement in orthopedic surgical repair services.
