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 0L8V0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662350 Division of right foot tendon, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with orthopedic surgery procurement. Instead, the code has been applied to a diverse set of health services solicitations spanning occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee benefits, and specialty medical services for detained youth. The actual work being bought reflects administrative and preventive healthcare management, benefits program administration, and ancillary clinical staffing rather than foot tendon surgery itself. Issuing bodies include county health systems, county retirement boards, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county human resources divisions—spanning administrative, operational, and custody-related healthcare procurement across multiple jurisdictions.

The most recent opportunities show activity across Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. The Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000). The City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program serving approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (HR26753, RFP due October 7, 2026, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027). The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed work volume). The code shows active but misaligned procurement activity; bidders pursuing opportunities under this classification should verify the actual scope of work in each solicitation rather than assuming orthopedic surgery content.
