UNSPSC 85662243: Repair left lower leg tendon, open approach

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 0LQP0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662243 "Repair left lower leg tendon, open approach" is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it bears no meaningful relationship to that clinical scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit program management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which are surgical repair of lower leg tendons. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code has been repurposed in practice to capture a broader family of health services administration and workforce management activities that state and local agencies are actually buying.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code represent a mix of municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county human resources functions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of the Fire and Police Pension Boards) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with award anticipated by November 30, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The City of Long Beach and Collier County also appear in the recent opportunities. Geographic activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, with no clear concentration in any single state or region.
