This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right lower leg muscle, percutaneous approach. 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 0K9S3ZZ

UNSPSC 85652931 Drainage of right lower leg muscle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with state and local procurement activity under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic or surgical drainage procedures; instead, they span health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services contracting, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the medical procedure its name describes.

State and local issuing bodies—including city retirement systems, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments—are using this code to classify health services administration and staffing requests that fall outside the orthopedic surgery domain. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgery benefit carve-out programs for Anthem PPO members; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across fourteen Washington ferry system locations; the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing in thirteen ancillary clinical categories; and Collier County's RFP (258414, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The code's misapplication to these health administration and staffing services suggests a taxonomic mismatch rather than genuine market activity in lower-leg drainage procedures at the state and local level.
