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 0H9DXZZ

UNSPSC 85631537 Drainage of right lower arm skin, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a clinical procedure — does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities shown are independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out network management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing. None of these reflect drainage of arm skin or resemble the procedural medical service the code name specifies. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure scope and the management, staffing, and benefit-administration work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding of opportunities or a data classification error in the state and local procurement system.

The issuing bodies span city personnel and retirement boards (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara), state transportation and ferries (Washington), county juvenile justice and human services (Harris County, Collier County), and county health care consortiums, reflecting a fragmented mix of health care purchasing across local and state entities. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The opportunities posted between July and September 2026 include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026). Without a coherent commodity scope linking these opportunities to the code itself, prospective vendors should verify coding accuracy before investing in pursuit strategy under this UNSPSC classification.
