UNSPSC 85671608: Removal of synthetic substitute from lower bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from lower 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 0MPY3JZ

UNSPSC 85671608 Removal of synthetic substitute from lower bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code, which nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, does not align with any of the six recent opportunities posted under this code in the dataset. The opportunities instead encompass independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, detention youth healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the removal of synthetic material from bursa or ligament tissue. This mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding of opportunities by issuing bodies or that the code does not represent active state and local procurement in the medical device or surgical supplies market.

The misalignment between code and actual solicitation content makes this code unsuitable for targeting. Business development professionals should verify UNSPSC code assignments when evaluating opportunities in health services and medical procurement categories, as the taxonomy label may not reflect the work actually being acquired.
