UNSPSC 85671616: Extirpation of matter from left lower extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left lower extremity 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 0MCW3ZZ

UNSPSC 85671616, Extirpation of matter from left lower extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—naming a discrete orthopedic surgical procedure—does not match the scope of the recent opportunities tagged under it, which span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and disability medical evaluations rather than surgical services or procedure-specific medical care.

The recent opportunities reflect issuing-body diversity across county health systems, state transportation departments, county human resources divisions, and municipal retirement offices, but none of the solicitations directly address orthopedic surgical procedures or bursa and ligament intervention. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) involves baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) addresses disability benefit determinations; the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) covers ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physician services; and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (258414) concerns claims processing and formulary management. The code appears to carry procedural or administrative tagging that does not reflect genuine procurement demand for the orthopedic intervention specified in its name. Business development activity under this code should be limited pending clarification of whether it is actively used by state and local bodies for surgical services procurement.
