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 0YQF4ZZ

UNSPSC 85782628 Repair right knee region, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure classification; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with orthopedic surgery delivery. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement of occupational health services, disability medical evaluation, employee benefits administration, pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve surgical repair of the knee. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical nomenclature and the work state and local buyers are actually contracting for under it.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies across multiple states with no coherent scope: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office procuring independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach seeking a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program covering centers of excellence for multiple specialties including knee procedures (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation purchasing occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. Santa Clara County Health System and Collier County are likewise soliciting temporary health professional staffing and pharmacy benefit management, respectively. Given the code's clinical specificity and the absence of any recent opportunities actually procuring knee surgery or related orthopedic repair services, this code merits being marked as lacking current relevant procurement activity in state and local markets. Vendors should verify the accuracy of code tagging in any sourcing system before committing resources to pursue opportunities labeled under this code.
