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 0S9J3ZZ

UNSPSC 85722229 Drainage of left tarsal joint, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures on the tarsal joint. The code appears to be a procedural medical taxonomy entry that state and local procurement offices have misapplied to procurement for health plan administration, medical evaluation contracting, and clinical staffing services. A firm pursuing actual tarsal joint drainage services or similar surgical procedure codes should disregard this activity and confirm the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing jurisdiction before bidding.
