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 0R9N0ZZ

UNSPSC 85712277 Drainage of right wrist joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the medical services and health benefits administration work actually being solicited by state and local agencies under this tag. The recent opportunities posted against this code reflect occupational health examinations, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which constitute drainage of a wrist joint or orthopedic surgical procedures performed in a clinical setting.

The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure definition and the opportunities posted suggests either a tagging error in the source material or inconsistent code application by individual procurement offices. Entities posting medical services RFPs — including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability evaluations), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty care), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary staffing), and the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks) — are not purchasing orthopedic surgical drainage. State and local procurement activity under this code does not support a pursue decision at this time.
