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 0MMV0ZZ

UNSPSC 85671526 Reattachment of right lower extremity bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing orthopedic surgical procedure codes, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect surgical-procedure purchasing. Instead, the code is being applied to occupational health, medical surveillance, benefits administration, and healthcare staffing services that bear no direct relationship to orthopedic reattachment surgery. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach requested surgical carve-out benefit management for employee health plans; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System requested temporary clinical staffing. The code appears to be a catch-all placeholder in state and local procurement systems rather than a meaningful category for orthopedic surgical services.

The issuing bodies span county health systems, municipal retirement offices, county departments, state agencies, and large-city human resources and procurement divisions across multiple states—Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' RFP for medical surveillance (responses due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluations (October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical-procedure carve-outs (October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary clinical staffing (October 7, 2026). No pattern of activity directly related to orthopedic reattachment procedures is evident; the code does not reflect meaningful state and local purchasing in its nominal scope.
