This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right thumb phalanx, 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 0P9R3ZZ

UNSPSC 85695073 Drainage of right thumb phalanx, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a categorical mismatch with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on hand anatomy, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pension disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care carve-outs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve hand surgery or thumb drainage procedures. The tagging appears to reflect a data classification error rather than intentional procurement scope.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Collier County Florida; Harris County Texas; Santa Clara County California), and city government (Phoenix Arizona; Long Beach California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no standout concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP, cost-based scoring); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 (RFP, $750,000 five-year maximum); and Collier County soliciting Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees with an RFP deadline of April 9, 2026 and estimated historical spending of $8.7 million annually. The code shows active procurement volume across health services administration, but bidders should verify whether opportunities are correctly tagged before pursuing, given the fundamental disconnect between the code's stated medical procedure and the health services administration work actually being solicited.
