This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from lower tendon, open 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 0LPY00Z

UNSPSC 85662972 Removal of drainage device from lower tendon, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—surgical removal of orthopedic drainage devices—bears no relationship to the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities on file show this code is being applied to procure healthcare services unrelated to surgical procedures: inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or the taxonomy itself does not align with how state and local governments classify healthcare contracting. The code shows no relevant recent activity in its stated scope.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix reflect general healthcare procurement across multiple state and local jurisdictions. Recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) procuring inmate medical services via RFP due May 15, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) seeking pharmacy benefit management services via RFP due April 9, 2026; Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) requesting virtual primary and urgent care services via RFP due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County Health in California issuing an RFP for peer support services with a July 2, 2025 deadline; and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California) posting an RFP for a medical director with an October 16, 2025 deadline. These jurisdictions span Georgia, Florida, and California. The code does not usefully segment the healthcare procurement market and should not be relied upon for business development filtering or pipeline analysis in surgical or orthopedic services.
