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 0LQ70ZZ

UNSPSC 85663402 Repair right hand tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the actual state and local opportunities recently solicited under this classification. The recent postings include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations describe surgical repair of tendons or any orthopedic surgical procedure. The code appears to be applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies tagging medical and health services work with a procedure-specific UNSPSC designation that does not match the work scope.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county corrections systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county health consortia (Collier County), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000, the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services due October 7, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026. Given the mismatch between the code's ostensible surgical scope and the health administration and occupational medicine work actually appearing in recent solicitations, the code does not reliably signal procurement opportunities in tendon repair or surgical services.
