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 0LQT4ZZ

UNSPSC 85662639 Repair left ankle tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose abstract title does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The source shows no solicitations for orthopedic surgery, ankle repair, or any surgical procedure matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, recent opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and Centers of Excellence networks for specialty surgical procedures — none of which constitute repair of a left ankle tendon using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems that posted these opportunities or a misalignment between the code's definition and its real-world application.

The most recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach soliciting a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County requesting pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, proposals due April 9, 2026, though this date appears to be from a prior cycle). Issuers span city and county health and retirement bodies, county health systems, and state transportation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope, business development professionals should verify the code assignment with individual issuing bodies before investing pursuit effort.
