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 0LT20ZZ

UNSPSC 85663339 Resection of left shoulder tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this surgical-procedure code instead reflect purchases of occupational health surveillance services, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, health plan surgical carve-out administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical procedures themselves. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to health services contracting rather than to the surgical intervention its name describes. State and local governments buying under this code's nominal scope would typically purchase physician services for specific surgical procedures, but the tagged opportunities show purchasing offices and health agencies procuring administrative and clinical support services that precede, accompany, or substitute for direct surgical care.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city human resources department (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county government HR and benefits function (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for Independent Medical Evaluation Services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) covering disability medical record review and scheduling of independent medical examinations for approximately 75 annual pension disability applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical specialties including orthopedic, cardiology, and surgical/operating-room services. The code shows little relevant activity for firms pursuing direct surgical service contracting.
