UNSPSC 85671539: Division of right lower extremity bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of right 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 0M8V0ZZ

UNSPSC 85671539 Division of right lower extremity bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a surgical procedure classification from a medical taxonomy, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code procure health services administration, occupational medical surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and independent medical evaluation services—none of which involve surgical procedures on the lower extremity bursa or ligament. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or use of the code as a catch-all for health-related contract categories rather than for the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

The opportunities sourced under this code span state departments, counties, and municipal agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant repeat buyer. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a five-year term and maximum compensation of $750,000), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations statewide (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Because the code does not accurately reflect the work being purchased, the activity appears fragmented across unrelated health services procurement rather than concentrated in a coherent commodity family, and pursuing opportunities under this code requires validation that individual solicitations match a firm's capabilities rather than reliance on the code name itself.
