UNSPSC 85781940: Drainage of left ankle region with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left ankle region with drainage device, percutaneous 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 0Y9L30Z

UNSPSC 85781940 Drainage of left ankle region with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — percutaneous drainage of the ankle — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve ankle drainage procedures or orthopedic surgical interventions in any operational form. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a county health system (Santa Clara), a state department of transportation (Washington), a county board of commissioners (Collier), a city employee benefits office (Long Beach), and a county juvenile probation department (Harris County). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activities suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed in state and local taxonomies to capture health-related services broadly rather than the specific procedure the code name implies. The largest opportunity by value is the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP (approximately $8.7 million annually, 2026–2028 base term), due April 9, 2026, followed by the City of Long Beach surgical carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP for Washington State Ferries due October 9, 2026 (pre-bid August 31, 2026). The Phoenix City Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP, due October 16, 2026, carries a $750,000 five-year ceiling. The Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing pool (non-exclusive, multiple award, no guaranteed work) is due October 7, 2026. Given the absence of any actual ankle-drainage or orthopedic-procedure procurement, this code is not actionable for medical device, orthopedic supply, or surgical-services vendors without verification that the issuing bodies have miscoded their opportunities.
