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 0PSLXZZ

UNSPSC 85692949 Reposition left ulna, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — surgical repositioning of the left ulna via external surgical approach — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect healthcare administration, benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, and staffing services rather than orthopedic or other direct surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span diverse public entities: city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention healthcare (Harris County), county human resources and health consortia (Collier County), and regional public health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no evidence of a dominant repeat buyer. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The apparent mismatch between code and content—a surgical procedure code populated by healthcare administration and staffing solicitations—suggests either systematic miscoding in the posting systems or that this code tier does not capture the intended procurement activity. The code shows recent activity but little relevance to vendors positioned around orthopedic surgery.
