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 0Y9K0ZZ

UNSPSC 85781741 Drainage of right ankle region, open approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local opportunities tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent solicitations tagged to this code request occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability evaluations, and surgical-procedure carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these solicitations involve drainage of ankle regions or orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to be misapplied to general occupational health, employee benefits administration, and workforce health services that state and local agencies are actually procuring.

The geographic distribution of recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix, Sep–Oct 2026), California (City of Long Beach, Aug–Oct 2026; County of Santa Clara, Jul–Oct 2026), Florida (Collier County, deadline Apr 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Aug–Sep 2026), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, Aug–Oct 2026). Representative solicitations include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due Oct 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry terminals, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability record summarization services (due Oct 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), and the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP (deadline Apr 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million historical annual spend). The code shows no relevant recent activity for its stated clinical purpose; pursuit of opportunities under this code should focus on the actual health-services and occupational-health procurement being issued, not the ankle-drainage descriptor.
