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 0M9P0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672041 Drainage of left knee bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of recent state and local contract opportunities solicited under this designation. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged with this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty hospital services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomy classification error in the posting systems or significant divergence between the code's intended scope and how state and local procurement offices are applying it in practice.

The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and health systems serving large populations (County of Santa Clara). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations for approximately 75 annual applicants with a five-year maximum compensation of $750,000, due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor pool RFP for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows no coherent recent activity aligned to its nominal orthopedic procedure scope.
