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 0LN40ZZ

UNSPSC 85663413 Release left upper arm tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows little alignment with orthopedic or surgical services. The opportunities posted under this code instead span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgery or tendon release procedures. The issuing bodies include county corrections departments, county commissioners' boards procuring benefits for employees and retirees, a county health authority, and a municipal fire department—all seeking healthcare administration, provider services, or care coordination rather than surgical intervention.

The geographic spread of the recent activity includes Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with no discernible concentration in any single state or region. The most recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with estimated historical annual pharmacy spend of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code appears to be misapplied to healthcare administration and management services rather than surgical procedures, making it unreliable as a procurement signal for the orthopedic or surgical services its nominal UNSPSC definition describes.
