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 0PQL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85693231 Repair left ulna, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — orthopedic repair of the left ulna using an open surgical approach — yet the six recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations request repair of ulna fractures or orthopedic surgery services. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement database or a fundamental divergence between the code's clinical scope and the jurisdictions' actual use of the taxonomy.

The issuing bodies span multiple state and local government types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the code shows no recent opportunities for orthopedic surgical repair services, prospects should view this code as dormant for ulna-repair procurement and investigate whether the tagging reflects actual buying intent or a data-entry anomaly in the state and local procurement system.
