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 0MQ70ZZ

UNSPSC 85673350 Repair right hand bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing orthopedic surgical repair, but the recent state and local opportunities solicited under it bear no meaningful alignment with that clinical scope. The code does not appear to reflect actual procurement activity in state and local government for surgical repair services. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee benefit plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which correspond to the code's stated procedure description.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city-level departments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The code shows recent activity but the mismatch between the code's nominal clinical procedure and the actual work being procured — administrative medical services, benefit program design, and staffing — suggests either systematic miscoding or that UNSPSC 85673350 is not a reliable signal for targeting surgical orthopedic repair opportunities in state and local government.
