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 0LNP0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662255 Release left lower leg tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical intervention for lower leg tendon release. Instead, the opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing (ancillary clinical roles), surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's surgical descriptor and the actual scope of work solicited suggests either a tagging error at the issuing-agency level or a significant divergence between the code's intended scope and current procurement practice. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting use across multiple government jurisdictions and administrative functions.

The recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability record review and examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual pension applications with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's procedural name and the health-services and staffing work actually being procured, firms should verify code alignment at pre-bid or before proposal preparation to avoid pursuing opportunities that may have been miscoded by the issuing body.
