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 0LXQ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85662506 Transfer right knee tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the activity currently being solicited under it by state and local governments. Recent state and local contract opportunities tagged with this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or knee tendon repair. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical intervention) and the actual work being purchased show no meaningful alignment. State and local agencies are using this code to tag medical services, healthcare administration, and staffing contracts rather than procedural medical device or surgical service line items.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). No single buyer appears more than once in the recent record. Geographic activity is spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any one state or region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's proposal to establish a temporary health professional staffing pool across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code appears to have been assigned erroneously or as a default administrative catch-all rather than reflecting genuine procurement of the knee-tendon surgical procedure named in the code definition.
