UNSPSC 85773145: Drainage of left wrist region, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left wrist 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 0X9H0ZZ

UNSPSC 85773145 Drainage of left wrist region, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — drainage of the left wrist via open surgical approach — yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefits for public employee health plans. None of these solicitations concern wrist drainage procedures or orthopedic surgery delivery. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for broader medical services rather than discrete surgical procedures.

The recent opportunities do reflect genuine procurement activity across state and local health administration: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is procuring independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations ($750,000 baseline contract with two-year term and optional five-year extensions, due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (non-exclusive, multiple-award, due October 7, 2026); and the City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for surgical and oncology Centers of Excellence carve-out benefits for municipal employees (target go-live April 1, 2027). Issuing bodies include state departments, county health systems and pension boards, and cities. Geographic spread covers Arizona, Washington, California, and Texas. However, given the disconnect between the code name and the actual work being solicited, this code does not reliably signal relevant procurement opportunity for vendors seeking state and local surgical or wrist-procedure work.
