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 0K5D0ZZ

UNSPSC 85653449 Destruction of left hand muscle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic or surgical procedures on hand musculature; instead, they cover occupational health medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, specialty surgical carve-out benefits for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The solicitations originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation departments, but none of the opportunities represent destruction-of-muscle surgical procedures or orthopedic interventions. This code appears to have been applied incorrectly to health services and benefits administration procurements rather than specific surgical procedures.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (statewide), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), reflecting activity across multiple regions and jurisdictional types. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations due October 16, 2026, with maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Given the categorical mismatch, the code shows little actionable procurement signal for vendors in orthopedic surgery, hand surgery, or musculoskeletal procedures.
