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 0LN20ZZ

UNSPSC 85663415 Release left shoulder tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, while the five most recently posted opportunities under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction—represent healthcare administration, managed care, and behavioral health services that fall outside the scope of surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems or a data anomaly that has tagged unrelated healthcare service solicitations to a surgical procedure code.

The recent opportunities show activity across diverse issuing bodies including county corrections departments, county boards of commissioners, county health agencies, county behavioral health services, and municipal fire departments in Georgia, Florida, and California, but none of these solicitations engage orthopedic surgical services or the open surgical approach to shoulder tendon repair that the code nominally describes. Without procurement activity aligned to the code's actual taxonomy, this code presents minimal pursuit opportunity for vendors in the orthopedic surgical or surgical services supply chain at this time.
