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 0LN83ZZ

UNSPSC 85663509, Release left hand tendon, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect administrative and occupational health services rather than surgical procedure provision. State and local governments appear to be using this code to classify medical evaluation, examination, and health professional staffing services — including independent medical assessments for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing — rather than orthopedic surgical procedures themselves. The issuing bodies include county retirement offices, city health systems, state transportation departments, and county health agencies, reflecting a mix of public-sector human resources, occupational safety, and municipal health administration rather than surgical service procurement.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations across 75 annual pension applications, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with cost-based evaluation (40 percent pricing, 60 percent capability) and contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows limited recent activity directly aligned with its stated clinical procedure name, suggesting procurement professionals should verify code assignment against actual work scope before pursuing.
