UNSPSC 85671541 Destruction of right lower extremity bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code nominally identifying a surgical procedure, but the source shows no recent state and local contract opportunities aligned with the code's medical-procedure specificity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve surgical destruction of ligament or bursa tissue. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to opportunities in occupational health, benefits administration, and general medical procurement rather than orthopedic surgery services.

The issuing bodies across the recent records span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation agencies (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), and municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with geographic activity in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for 75 annual applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal and shipyard locations (due October 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County's non-exclusive staffing pool RFP for temporary health professionals across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no reliable recent purchasing activity in its stated commodity scope and warrants recategorization review before pursuit.
