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 0LNW4ZZ

UNSPSC 85662649 Release left foot tendon, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this designation center instead on occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve the specific procedure named in the code. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for health services contracting rather than as a vehicle for procuring tendon-release surgery or related orthopedic interventions.

The recent opportunities reflect a mix of issuing bodies across county health systems, municipal retirement boards, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSF) requested occupational medical surveillance; Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing; and the City of Long Beach, Collier County, and Harris County pursued surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, and emergency medical services for detained youth respectively. Activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas, with no clear geographic concentration. The code does not surface traditional surgical-procedure procurement at the state and local level in recent months.
