UNSPSC 85671208: Extraction of left abdomen bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of left abdomen bursa and ligament, 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 0MDJ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85671208 Extraction of left abdomen bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect health services procurement—medical evaluation, pharmacy benefits, occupational surveillance, surgical networks, and clinical staffing—but none involve the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit administration through Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is soliciting pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. These solicitations span state departments, county boards, and municipal agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the substance of the work bears no relation to surgical extraction procedures.

The code appears to be a data-classification mismatch. The UNSPSC Commodity title references a specific surgical intervention—percutaneous extraction of left abdominal bursa and ligament tissue—that state and local governments do not typically procure as a standalone service category. Recent activity under this code reflects administrative health services, benefits management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary staffing, all of which fall outside surgical procedure scope. Pursuing opportunities under this code on the assumption that the Commodity name predicts the work being bought would result in unrelated bids. The code warrants review to confirm whether it is correctly applied to the recent opportunities listed, as the mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or a code that generates minimal relevant activity for state and local procurement.
