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 0LQ30ZZ

UNSPSC 85663406 Repair right upper arm tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. The recent solicitations posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope; state and local governments are instead using it to classify administrative health services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out networks. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how jurisdictions have tagged these opportunities or a data drift in the code's application at the state and local level. The genuine scope of work being solicited includes independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for transportation workers, specialty surgical procedure networks for municipal employees, and temporary staffing of ancillary clinical roles—none of which are orthopedic surgery itself.

Issuing bodies span county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county probation services across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries across 14 locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out and Centers of Excellence services (HR26753, proposals due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing including audiology, orthopedic, imaging, and surgical roles (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent activity stream aligned to its stated definition and should not be relied upon for orthopedic surgical procurement signals.
