UNSPSC 85671132 Extirpation of matter from left abdomen bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this tag. Recent opportunities show no procurement of surgical procedures matching the code's clinical description; instead, the code has been applied to medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services—activities fundamentally distinct from surgical intervention. The mismatch indicates either data entry error in the state and local procurement systems or deliberate misapplication of a surgical procedure code to administrative and staffing services. No concrete evidence supports that state and local bodies are using this code as intended.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix cannot be meaningfully characterized against the code's nominal scope. Recent opportunities appear in Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, independent medical evaluations), California (City of Long Beach, surgical benefit carve-outs; County of Santa Clara Health System, temporary clinical staffing), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, pharmacy benefit management), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, occupational medical surveillance), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, emergency and specialty medical services). However, none of these solicitations align with surgical extirpation procedures. Firms evaluating this code should verify the actual scope needed before pursuing opportunities tagged under it, as the code label provides no reliable signal of work content in the current marketplace.
