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 0H9LXZZ

UNSPSC 85631523 Drainage of left lower leg skin, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal taxonomy label and the state and local opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code do not involve surgical drainage procedures; instead, they document procurement of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code's abstract clinical procedure name does not match the scope of work state and local buyers are actually soliciting.

Across the six opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026, issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County), city retirement boards (Phoenix), state departments of transportation (Washington State Ferries), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and municipal workforce authorities (Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single region dominant. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year, $750,000 contract ceiling; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code as currently applied appears to be a data-classification artifact rather than an accurate descriptor of procurable services — vendors should verify actual scope alignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this taxonomy reference.
