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 0LQQ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85662406 Repair right knee tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code nominally describing orthopedic surgical procedures; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect surgical repair work. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational medical examinations, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and juvenile detention healthcare services. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health departments, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either categorization variance in state and local systems or that the code is being applied to health services infrastructure rather than direct surgical intervention. Concrete solicitations under this code span independent medical record review and disability examination coordination for public safety pension boards, occupational health surveillance for transportation workers, specialty surgical centers of excellence networks for municipal employees, and broader health professional staffing and pharmacy administration services.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum five-year value of $750,000 and an October 16, 2026 proposal deadline. The City of Long Beach issued RFP HR26753 for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits with an October 7, 2026 deadline and anticipated go-live of April 1, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a two-year term and optional five-year extensions. Collier County, Florida issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with an April 9, 2026 deadline and estimated annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the divergence between code definition and actual procurement content, pursue this code cautiously and verify issuing-body categorization before bid preparation.
