This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left lower extremity bursa and ligament, 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 0MTW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85671513 Resection of left lower extremity bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve resection of bursa or ligament tissue. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the operational health services, workforce staffing, and benefit administration work posted under it suggests a tagging error or systematic miscoding rather than a coherent procurement category. State and local issuers posting under this code include a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county commissioners and probation departments (Collier County, Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara County), and municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix).

Recent opportunities under this code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP, due October 9, 2026) for ferry system employees; the City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for city employees and retirees (RFP, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFP, due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's published scope and actual procurement activity, pursue work in this code only if your firm is actively tracking opportunities through state and local procurement portals and your business development team manually verifies each opportunity before responding.
