This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right ankle tendon with drainage device, 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 0L9S30Z

UNSPSC 85662456 Drainage of right ankle tendon with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the surgical scope—instead, issuing bodies are using the code to tag medical services contracts for occupational health surveillance, disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing. State and local agencies soliciting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County), and county human resources divisions (Collier County). The work being purchased is chiefly administrative medical services, benefits program management, and staffing—not orthopedic procedures. This mismatch suggests the code is serving as a catch-all classification for health services contracts rather than targeting the specific ankle tendon drainage procedure the code nominally describes.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers at 14 Washington locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach posted HR26753 for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program offering Centers of Excellence for orthopedic, cardiac, oncology, and weight loss procedures, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, with responses due October 7, 2026. The code shows broad geographic spread but little thematic coherence—bidders should treat opportunities under this code as unrelated health services contracts rather than expect a consistent procurement pattern.
