This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left hand tendon, percutaneous approach. 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 0LQ83ZZ

UNSPSC 85663501 Repair left hand tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical procedure scope. The code is tagged to a range of state and local health administration and staffing solicitations that do not involve orthopedic tendon repair — instead, the tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit program carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the actual scope of recent opportunities suggests either miscoding in the jurisdictions' procurement systems or a structural misalignment between the code's definition and how state and local agencies classify health-administration and staffing contracts.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include Arizona city pension boards (Phoenix), California cities (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington state departments (WSDOT), and Texas county probation departments (Harris County), with no concentration in a single jurisdiction or service line. The most substantive recent opportunity is the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety pension determinations, structured as a five-year term with maximum compensation of $750,000. Secondary opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026) across 14 ferry system locations, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the code's procedural specificity and the absence of actual orthopedic tendon repair procurement in the tagged opportunities, firms targeting this code should treat recent activity as noise and seek clarification from procurement offices about proper code classification before investing in pursuit.
