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 0R9N3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712549 "Drainage of right wrist joint, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that shows substantial mismatch between its clinical procedure name and the work state and local governments are actually buying under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve orthopedic joint drainage or any percutaneous wrist procedures; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgery benefit program administration. The code appears to be misapplied across the recent solicitations, as none of the posted opportunities describe the procedure its name nominally identifies.

The recent solicitation activity under this code draws from state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human services agencies (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 WSF locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. No clear geographic concentration emerges from the recent postings, which span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the nominal code definition does not align with the actual work being solicited, this code presents limited value for targeted business development; bidders should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85712549.
