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 0QSHXZZ

UNSPSC 85702953 Reposition left tibia, external approach is a Commodity code representing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgery services; instead, they predominantly cover pharmacy benefit management, primary and urgent care services, peer support programs, fire department medical direction, and inmate medical and pharmacy services. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement activity, indicating little relevant recent activity under its stated clinical definition. State and local governments posting under this code appear to be using it as a catch-all for healthcare services rather than for the specific tibia repositioning procedure the code nominally describes.

The five most recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, and California and originate from diverse issuing bodies: Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care), Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department (inmate medical services), Santa Monica Fire Department (medical director services), and San Mateo County Health's Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (peer support for peer workers). Representative solicitations include Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services with responses due April 9, 2026, covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million; Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services due April 16, 2026, serving 2,300 county members with an effective date of October 1, 2026; and Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services due May 15, 2026, covering a 576-inmate facility with current monthly medical service costs of $95,537.71. The code does not reflect genuine orthopedic surgical procurement activity and should be approached with caution or cross-verified against actual scope documents before pursuing.
