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 0S9B0ZZ

UNSPSC 85723621 Drainage of left hip joint, open approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code involve medical and pharmacy management services, virtual care platforms, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction — none of which are surgical drainage procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical definition and how jurisdictions are using it to classify healthcare contracting opportunities.

The five recent opportunities span Georgia, Florida, and California jurisdictions including county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County, San Mateo County) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). The opportunities include an RFP by Columbus Consolidated Government for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP for Mental Health Services Act Peer Support for Peer Workers (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a Fire Department Medical Director (due October 16, 2025). None of these opportunities explicitly solicits surgical procedures or clinical interventions matching the code's nominal scope, indicating that this code shows little relevant recent activity for business development professionals focused on the actual work it nominally describes.
