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 0LB43ZZ

UNSPSC 85663529 Excision of left upper arm tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical procurement. Instead, the opportunities show state and local bodies soliciting medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical networks for government employees, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which correspond to surgical procedure coding or procurement of operative services. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The six opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, issued by diverse bodies including municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state departments of transportation, and county commissioners. The opportunities address occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluation for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out networks for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary ancillary clinical staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). The repeated appearance of government employee health benefit and occupational health themes suggests the code may be miscoded by issuing bodies, or reflects a data-entry error rather than intentional procurement classification under this surgical procedure Commodity.
