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 0L9S0ZZ

UNSPSC 85662331 Drainage of right ankle tendon, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—the drainage of a right ankle tendon via open surgical approach—but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span disability benefits medical record summarization and examination coordination (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), surgical benefit carve-out programs for public employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention (Harris County Juvenile Probation), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve the drainage of an ankle tendon or any ankle-specific surgical procedure. The code appears to be a data-entry or classification error in the source material; state and local procurement offices do not regularly buy surgical procedures as commodities under UNSPSC codes, and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code has been incorrectly tagged for these opportunities or the opportunities have been incorrectly associated with it.

No state and local opportunities directly addressing ankle tendon drainage or related orthopedic surgical procedures appear in the source material. The opportunities named do reflect state and local engagement with health system administration, occupational health compliance, employee benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing—functions common to state departments, county health systems, municipal pension boards, and regional health authorities—but they do not correspond to the surgical procedure this code nominally describes. A business development professional evaluating this code for contract pursuit should treat it as inactive for direct service delivery.
