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 0X930ZZ

UNSPSC 85772245 Drainage of left shoulder region, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity captured in recent solicitations. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, youth detention medical services, and surgical centers of excellence networks. None of these solicitations involve the specific surgical intervention the code names. State and local governments do not appear to be procuring the defined service—drainage of the left shoulder region via open surgical approach—under this code at present.

The mismatch between code and actual procurement suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these opportunities by the issuing bodies or the available data does not reflect genuine activity under this Commodity code. The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but they represent health plan administration, staffing services, and occupational health programs rather than orthopedic surgery procurement. No representative recent opportunity for the code's stated scope is present in the source material.
