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 0L880ZZ

UNSPSC 85663457 Division of left hand tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that represents a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with orthopedic surgical services. Instead, the opportunities reflect health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing services—none of which involve the performance of the tendon division procedure itself. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county government (Collier County). The scope of work actually being solicited encompasses independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, specialty surgical procedure benefit carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance examinations for transportation workers, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical roles—all administrative or support functions rather than surgical interventions.

Recent opportunities reflect geographic activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in surgical procedure delivery. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing qualifications (due October 7, 2026). The code assignment does not reflect the actual procurement activity under it; vendors pursuing work in this code should focus on health benefits consulting, medical administration, and staffing intermediation rather than surgical delivery.
