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 0L5R0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662365 Destruction of left knee tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for orthopedic intervention on a specific anatomical structure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve orthopedic surgery or knee-tendon procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual solicitations suggests either a miscoding of opportunities at the source or limited relevance of this code to current state and local purchasing patterns.

The five recent opportunities come from geographically dispersed jurisdictions including Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica (California). Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, county health departments, and municipal fire departments, indicating broad adoption of the code across health care procurement functions unrelated to orthopedic surgery. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026). Given the structural mismatch between the code definition and the work being solicited, this code warrants review for correct classification or assignment to actual opportunities before pursuing activity under it.
