UNSPSC 85693421: Drainage of left ulna, 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 0P9L0ZZ

UNSPSC 85693421 Drainage of left ulna, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no relevant alignment with the code's clinical scope. The five opportunities posted between February and April 2026 cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical drainage procedures or orthopedic intervention. State and local procurement offices appear to have mis-applied this surgical code to general healthcare services and medical staffing contracts that fall outside its intended taxonomy.

Given this mismatch between the code's formal definition and the work actually being solicited under it, the code shows little reliable activity for vendors pursuing surgical or orthopedic procedure services through state and local procurement channels. The geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), but these represent healthcare administration and staffing solicitations rather than medical devices, supplies, or surgical services aligned with the code's drainage-procedure scope. Firms evaluating opportunities under this code should treat the recent activity as a data-quality signal and confirm code alignment directly with issuing jurisdictions before pursuing; the taxonomy placement does not reflect the actual healthcare services being procured.
