This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0S9C4ZZ

UNSPSC 85724285 Drainage of right knee joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually procuring. Recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve the orthopedic procedure named in the code. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the procurement activity it has been assigned suggests either a data classification error or a systematic misalignment in how this code is being applied to state and local health-services solicitations.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county boards of commissioners across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The two recent opportunities most clearly tagged with this code are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under a five-year, $750,000 maximum contract) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, across 14 Washington locations, two years with options to extend up to five additional one-year terms). However, neither opportunity involves knee joint drainage or percutaneous endoscopic procedures, making the code assignment problematic for business development screening.
