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 0LQ53ZZ

UNSPSC 85663504 Repair right lower arm and wrist tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with little relevance to the code's nominal medical procedure scope. Recent solicitations tagged with this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute orthopedic surgical repair of tendons. The code shows minimal activity aligned with its stated procedure name, suggesting either systematic miscoding in state and local systems or application of the UNSPSC taxonomy in ways that diverge substantially from the code's intended product or service definition.

The issuing bodies in the available records span county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, and county commissioners' boards across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, total maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The alignment between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited is too weak to support reliable market characterization under this code.
