This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 0MBH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85671215 Excision of right abdomen bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual medical and healthcare services state and local governments are procuring under this taxonomy tag. Recent solicitations posted by state and local bodies show minimal alignment with the code's clinical procedure name. Instead, state and local agencies are buying occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county boards of commissioners, state transportation departments, county probation departments, county health systems, and municipal employee benefit programs. The scope of work being actively solicited spans medical record review and chronological summarization for disability benefit determinations, occupational baseline and periodic medical examinations across multiple work sites, pharmacy claims processing and formulary management, temporary clinical staffing across ancillary specialties, Centers of Excellence networks for elective surgical procedures, and emergency medical services for detained youth.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington State (Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, responses due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) involving disability medical record summarization and physician examination coordination for approximately 75 annual public safety personnel pension applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, responses due October 9, 2026) covering baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, responses due October 7, 2026) across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows little relevant recent activity when compared to its clinical procedure definition; the mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local opportunity database or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the work being purchased.
