This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left metacarpal, 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 0P9Q0ZZ

UNSPSC 85694821 Drainage of left metacarpal, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical-procedure scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are instead buying occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — administrative and occupational-health services that do not correspond to the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch between the code's clinical name and the actual work being procured suggests this code is either a cataloging error or captures a narrow subset of activity that does not surface in current state and local RFP and RFQ volume.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code originate from a mix of issuing bodies: a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county health system (Santa Clara), county governments (Harris County, Collier County), and a city pension administration office (City of Phoenix). Representative current solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension determinations, due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Geographic activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no national pattern evident. Vendors pursuing work under this code should recognize that actual procurement activity diverges significantly from the code's procedural description and focus on occupational health, benefits administration, and clinical staffing supply rather than surgical drainage procedures.
