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 0MQG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672531 Repair left thorax bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for public employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing placement, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical repair. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), indicating fragmentation across multiple jurisdiction types with no repeat buyers in the recent activity.

Geographic activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code appears to capture health and medical services procurement broadly rather than specific surgical procedures, suggesting either a tagging error in the underlying opportunity records or a UNSPSC coding scheme that conflates discrete orthopedic interventions with broader occupational and clinical health procurement categories.
