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 0S9G00Z

UNSPSC 85723614 Drainage of left ankle joint with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a material mismatch between its clinical procedure classification and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit drainage procedures or orthopedic surgical devices. Instead, the code appears in state and local RFPs for occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and independent medical examinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical care delivery networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the ankle joint drainage procedure the code nominally describes. This suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a vendor-side coding practice that does not reflect the substantive scope of work being bought.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and procurement offices (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix). Geographic activity includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool due October 7, 2026, and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program RFP due October 7, 2026. The code does not reflect material procurement activity aligned with its clinical name, and pursuit decisions should be grounded in the specific medical service categories posted under it rather than the code's nominal procedure classification.
