UNSPSC 85771207: Drainage of right elbow region, open 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 0X9B0ZZ

UNSPSC 85771207 Drainage of right elbow region, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code show no orthopedic surgical procedures but instead encompass independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific surgical drainage procedure. The mismatch suggests this code is being misapplied in state and local procurement systems, and business development professionals should treat this code as having minimal relevance to actual market activity in state and local contracting.

The six recent opportunities spanning September 2026 back to July 2026 span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits for employee health plans), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories). The code shows activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. However, given the fundamental disconnect between the code's stated scope and the services actually being sought, this code does not represent a coherent procurement market worth pursuing as categorized.
