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 0LXR4ZZ

UNSPSC 85662505 Transfer left knee tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, emergency healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or knee tendon transfer services. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry misaligned with how state and local jurisdictions actually solicit healthcare services, which they typically procure as vendor-managed benefit programs, consulting arrangements, or staffing pools rather than as discrete surgical procedures.

The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices do not tag opportunities with granular clinical procedure codes; they instead use broader healthcare service families when requesting medical evaluation support, specialty surgical networks, occupational health programs, or temporary clinical staffing. A vendor pursuing state and local work in orthopedic surgery or related clinical services would find more actionable signals in higher-tier family or class codes covering healthcare service delivery, managed care networks, or occupational medicine rather than in this specific commodity-level surgical procedure designation.
