UNSPSC 85671617: Extirpation of matter from right 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 right 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 0MCV3ZZ

UNSPSC 85671617 Extirpation of matter from right lower extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity — a surgical procedure on a single anatomical site — does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this code, which cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record summary services, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical carve-out programs for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities reflect administrative, occupational health, and benefits-management contracting rather than the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical definition and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or an inappropriate code assignment by posting agencies. State and local buyers in Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida have recently issued RFPs and RFQs for health services administration and workforce management, but none target the specific surgical procedure named in this code. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code title and the work solicited, this code does not represent a viable procurement pathway for vendors in orthopedic or general surgical services at the state and local level.
