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 0QSG3ZZ

UNSPSC 85703622 Reposition right tibia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure nomenclature and the work actually being purchased. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit orthopedic surgical services or tibial repositioning procedures. Instead, the code is tagged to five unrelated healthcare procurement categories: independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical intervention—bears no meaningful relationship to any of these requisitions. This represents a classification error in the state and local procurement taxonomy application rather than a coherent commodity family.

The issuing bodies include a municipal retirement board (City of Phoenix), a city government benefits administrator (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation authority (Harris County), a county government benefits consortium (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and a county health system (Santa Clara Health System), spanning Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Given the mismatch between code nomenclature and actual solicitation scope, no meaningful geographic or service-line pattern emerges from the recent opportunities. Business development professionals should not pursue opportunities tagged to this code based on its procedural name; instead, verify the actual scope of work in each RFP individually, as the taxonomy classification does not reliably signal the services being solicited.
