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 0SPC00Z

UNSPSC 85723440 Removal of drainage device from right knee joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical nomenclature and the state and local procurement activity actually posted under it. Recent opportunities tagged with this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing qualification pools, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to be a data classification error in one or more jurisdictional procurement systems rather than an active procurement pathway for surgical device removal or related services. State and local issuing bodies represented include city retirement offices, county commissioners and health systems, state departments of transportation, and juvenile probation departments.

Recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical carve-out benefit RFP, due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara County Health System temporary health professional staffing RFSQ, due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026), Florida (Collier County PBM services RFP, due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty medical services RFI, due September 25, 2026). The code does not reflect genuine procurement demand for orthopedic surgical services and presents no relevant pursuit opportunity for vendors in that clinical domain.
