This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from right knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach. 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 0SPC40Z

UNSPSC 85724138 Removal of drainage device from right knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical-procedure scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code do not solicit orthopedic surgical services or device removal; instead, they address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans. The code's title describes a specific clinical procedure, but the opportunities reflect broader health-plan administration, occupational health screening, and temporary medical staffing — work that does not map to the code's procedure-specific definition. The mismatch suggests either coding error in the source data or that this code is not an active procurement category for state and local government right now.

The issuing bodies in the recent block span state health and transportation agencies, county health systems and commissions, and municipal pension and human resources departments: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management covering $8.7 million in annual spending), Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool across multiple clinical categories), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability benefit applications), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty emergency medical services for detained youth), and the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out for employee plans). No pattern of repeat solicitations under the nominal code scope or geographic concentration emerges from the block. If the intent is to track procurement for orthopedic surgical device removal or knee-joint procedures at state and local level, this code should be monitored separately from the mixed opportunities currently tagged to it.
