This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left ankle bursa and ligament, 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 0M9R3ZZ

UNSPSC 85672145 Drainage of left ankle bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with orthopedic drainage procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual buying activity suggests either a systematic tagging error in the state and local procurement database or that this code does not represent a category for which jurisdictions routinely solicit from external vendors.

The opportunities that do appear under this code reflect broader healthcare administration and workforce staffing patterns across state and local health systems, counties, and municipalities rather than discrete surgical services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) sought independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach (RFQ HR26753, due October 7, 2026) requested surgical benefit management through Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) procured occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026) sought emergency and specialty hospital services; Collier County (RFP 258414) managed pharmacy benefits; and Santa Clara County Health System (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) built a qualified vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing. These are institutional health management and contracting activities, not procurement of the specific procedure named in the code. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignment for opportunities in occupational medicine, employee health benefits administration, or clinical staffing before pursuing activity under this code.
