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 0QQM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85705103 Repair left tarsal, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with orthopedic surgery. Instead, the opportunities posted show government bodies soliciting occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits medical evaluations, employee health benefit carve-outs, emergency youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tarsal repair or operative orthopedic procedures. The mismatch between the code's abstract name and the actual scope of work being purchased suggests this code carries minimal relevance to firms pursuing contracts for surgical or procedural services in the state and local space.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no coherent thread to orthopedic surgery. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across ferry worker populations; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP (due October 7, 2026) for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI (due September 25, 2026) for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ (due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across non-nursing ancillary categories. Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP (due April 9, 2026) further illustrates the divergence. The geographic spread includes Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. This code does not currently support orthopedic surgical procurement activity in the state and local market and should be deprioritized in pursuit planning.
