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 0L580ZZ

UNSPSC 85663465 Destruction of left hand tendon, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this code involve disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve surgical destruction of hand tendons. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual scope of work being procured suggests this code either captures administrative and benefit-management services tangentially or the tagging reflects data-quality issues in the source systems.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged under this code span municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), county health authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. A representative recent opportunity is RTMRFP26001, posted by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office on September 16, 2026 with an October 16, 2026 response deadline, seeking independent medical evaluation services including disability medical record summary preparation and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. Another example is RFP20260825, posted by the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries on August 25, 2026 with an October 9, 2026 response deadline, requesting occupational medical surveillance services including baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations across 14 Washington locations. The code shows no relevant recent activity for surgical hand tendon procedures.
