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 0MQ44ZZ

UNSPSC 85673653 Repair left elbow bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual services state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent opportunities posted against this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical repair of the elbow. The code appears to be misapplied across a broad range of healthcare procurement activity that spans medical surveillance programs, benefits administration, and clinical staffing rather than a specific surgical procedure.

Activity under this code spans multiple state and local issuing bodies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (for occupational health programs), city retirement offices (Phoenix), county governments (Collier County in Florida, Harris County in Texas, Santa Clara County in California), and municipal governments (Long Beach, California). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction appearing as a repeat buyer across the available opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows active procurement volume but lacks consistency in the work being solicited, suggesting misclassification rather than genuine alignment between the commodity definition and state and local buying activity.
