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 0LN3XZZ

UNSPSC 85663206 Release right upper arm tendon, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code—does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent solicitations categorized under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgery benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve upper arm tendon procedures. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and city retirement and human resources offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated procedure scope.

The geographic spread of opportunities includes Washington, Arizona, California (multiple counties and cities), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety pensions with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring, two-year initial term with options to extend); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal surgical procedure description and the actual content of recent opportunities suggests either misclassification in the source data or a fundamental divergence between code intent and procurement practice.
