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 0MNQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85671960 Release right ankle bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the provided recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code are for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or ankle procedures. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state or local procurement systems or a misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy to these health services solicitations.

The recent opportunities do not support decision-making around this code's actual market activity. If your firm pursues work under this code as coded, expect to operate in a dormant or misclassified category. If you are evaluating the broader healthcare services market that these recent opportunities represent, the activity is concentrated in county-level health benefits administration and corrections healthcare, with opportunities from Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), Monroe County (virtual care services), Muscogee County (inmate medical services), San Mateo County (peer support services), and Santa Monica Fire Department (medical direction). Proposal submission dates ranged from April to July 2026, with contract values spanning from $580,000 for a three-year peer support pilot to approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending at Collier County. The issuing bodies are predominantly county health departments and corrections authorities in California and Florida, with one municipal fire department in California. Given the code-scope mismatch, this UNSPSC classification warrants verification before pursuing further opportunities tagged under it.
