UNSPSC 85782315: Drainage of right knee 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 0Y9F0ZZ

UNSPSC 85782315 Drainage of right knee region, open approach is a Commodity code with no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its clinical scope. The code nominal describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — open surgical drainage of the knee — yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 uniformly solicit occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing placement, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency youth detention healthcare. None of these services involves drainage procedures, orthopedic surgery, or operative intervention of any kind. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies at the point of solicitation posting or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy applied and the actual work being bought.

The few characteristics visible across the misaligned opportunities show issuing bodies spanning county human resources departments (Collier County, Santa Clara County), city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), county detention authorities (Harris County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health systems. Geographic activity is scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington with no pattern supporting targeted pursuit. Because the opportunities posted under this code do not describe drainage procedures or orthopedic surgical services, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for surgical orthopedic work and verify the correct UNSPSC code through direct communication with issuing bodies when pursuing actual knee drainage or orthopedic surgery-related state and local contracts.
