UNSPSC 85671517: Repair left lower extremity bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0MQW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85671517 Repair left lower extremity bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities attributed to this code involve inmate healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which align with orthopedic surgical repair. The code shows a classification mismatch; state and local procurement systems have tagged healthcare management and mental health services under a procedure-specific surgical code that describes a single orthopedic intervention.

No substantive procurement activity for the orthopedic repair service named in the UNSPSC code itself appears in the recent solicitations. The opportunities present — Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Health BHRS' RFP for peer support for peer workers (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (due October 16, 2025) — represent healthcare management and administrative services, not surgical procedures. This code does not appear to be a reliable predictor of state and local procurement for orthopedic surgical repair work. Business development professionals pursuing surgical services should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing body rather than rely on this code's recent posting history.
