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 0LNPXZZ

UNSPSC 85662007 Release left lower leg tendon, external approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect broad health and human services contracting unrelated to orthopedic surgery—including disability medical evaluation coordination, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health screening, and temporary clinical staffing.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; Collier County (RFP 25-8414, originally due April 9, 2026) issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management; the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) sought occupational medical surveillance; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQ HHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. These procurements span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. The code appears to have been assigned inconsistently or in error across these opportunities, as none involve the specific surgical procedure the Commodity nominally names. Vendors should verify the actual scope of work in any solicitation tagged with this code rather than rely on the code's nominal description.
