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 0LQ80ZZ

UNSPSC 85663401 Repair left hand tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with orthopedic or surgical repair services. Instead, the tagged opportunities reflect broader healthcare administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy management, and staffing services—none of which correspond to the code's stated scope of left-hand tendon repair. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance contract, the City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out program, and Santa Clara County's temporary health professional staffing pool all address healthcare program administration or workforce provisioning rather than surgical repair. This code shows evidence of persistent tagging misalignment between the procurement system and the actual work being solicited.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County, Collier County), and municipal entities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), indicating broad jurisdictional use but without a coherent procurement pattern. Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluations due October 16, 2026, with a five-year maximum value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation due October 9, 2026, with a two-year initial term and option for five additional one-year extensions; and Santa Clara County's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026. Given the systematic mismatch between the code's orthopedic surgical scope and the healthcare administration and staffing services actually being procured, this code does not represent a reliable signal for pursuing surgical repair work at state and local government.
