This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right 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 0M9Q3ZZ

UNSPSC 85672147 Drainage of right ankle bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code—occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative healthcare contracting, employee health benefits management, and clinical workforce solutions rather than orthopedic surgical procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific clinical procedure performed on a patient, whereas state and local governments do not typically procure individual surgical interventions as line items. The mismatch between code definition and actual buying behavior signals either a tagging error in the underlying data or a fundamental misalignment of taxonomy assignment.

The recent opportunities themselves span multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation/State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California)—and include RFPs for independent medical evaluation and surgical carve-out administration (due October 16, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively), an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and an RFI for specialty emergency services. No recent opportunities show procurement of the clinical procedure the code nominally describes. Practitioners should treat this code as inactive for state and local business development purposes and verify coding against actual scope before investing pursuit effort.
