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 0L573ZZ

UNSPSC 85663558 Destruction of right hand tendon, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it bear no connection to orthopedic surgery or hand procedures. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for government employees (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services in a youth detention setting (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve destruction of hand tendons or percutaneous orthopedic procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that the code has been repurposed in state and local taxonomy systems in ways that diverge from its UNSPSC definition.

The issuing bodies are a state transportation department, city retirement offices, two county health systems, a county human resources division, and a county probation department — a mix of administrative and clinical procurement functions across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The opportunities themselves span benefits administration, occupational health and safety, employee healthcare programs, detention facility medical services, and clinical staffing. No opportunity describes the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally names. Without recent state and local demand for the specific service the code is designed to capture, the code does not present a meaningful procurement pursuit vector for firms focused on the stated commodity.
