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 0LQK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662247 Repair left hip tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that represents orthopedic surgical procedures; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted under this classification span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which directly involve left hip tendon repair or orthopedic surgery delivery. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal benefits administrators (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction appearing as a standout repeat buyer under this code.

The mismatch between the code's medical-procedure focus and the actual opportunities posted suggests that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all classification for health services or medical management contracts rather than reserving it for orthopedic surgical repair line items. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeking disability medical record summaries and physician examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability applications, the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) offering pre- and post-care for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence, and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal orthopedic surgical scope.
