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 0MQQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85671952 Repair right ankle bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under it span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which constitute repair of ankle bursa or ligament. State and local governments are not procuring this specific procedure as a line item; the code appears to have been misapplied to broader healthcare service and benefit administration categories that encompass multiple medical interventions.

Recent activity shows issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington state, including city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county juvenile justice (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county benefits consortiums (Collier County Health Care Consortium). The actual work ranges from independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (WSDOT RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026) and temporary ancillary clinical staffing pools (Santa Clara County Health System RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code assignment does not reflect the substance of these opportunities, making this category unreliable for targeting procurement activity in any specific medical service line.
