This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right ankle bursa and ligament with drainage device, 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 0M9Q00Z

UNSPSC 85672040 Drainage of right ankle bursa and ligament with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure classification fundamentally misaligned with recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no recent solicitations for the specific surgical procedure it names. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect state and local government purchasing of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical care coordination through centers of excellence, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the ankle procedure the code describes.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies. The Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested disability medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications (RFP due October 16, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 health professional categories (RFP due October 7, 2026). Collier County Procurement Services issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending near $8.7 million. The code designation appears to be a data-entry error or misclassification rather than a meaningful procurement category; prospective vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC coding for actual health professional services or clinical staffing opportunities before pursuing these opportunities.
