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 0LNN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662256 Release right lower leg tendon, open approach (Commodity) represents a specific surgical procedure code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local contract opportunities. The code's nominal scope—a narrow orthopedic surgical intervention—does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local buyers under this code. Recent opportunities posted to procurement platforms instead span independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, occupational health surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing qualification pools, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations are purchasing or contracting for the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing level or that this Commodity code is not actively used for state and local procurement activity in the current market.

The geographic and issuing-body mix of the miscoded opportunities spans multiple states and jurisdiction types—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—but these records do not reflect actual buying under the 85662256 code. State and local procurement professionals should treat this code as inactive for their purposes unless source data materially changes to show opportunities genuinely aligned with orthopedic surgical procedure procurement.
