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 0LNT0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662251 Release left ankle tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that represents a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical services. Instead, the tagged solicitations span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve ankle tendon release surgery. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this code is being applied to broader health services procurement in ways that diverge from its clinical nomenclature. No recent state and local opportunities actually solicit orthopedic surgical services or ankle tendon procedures under this code.

The issuing bodies represented across the tagged opportunities include county government procurement divisions (Collier County, Monroe County, Muscogee County), municipal fire departments (Santa Monica), and county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County), spanning Florida, Georgia, and California. The opportunities posted in early 2026 and late 2025 point to health services and managed care contracting activity across state and local jurisdictions, but this activity does not align with the Commodity code's stated procedure name. Without genuine ankle tendon release procurement activity to characterize, this code presents no clear opportunity set for orthopedic surgical services vendors.
