UNSPSC 85671627: Destruction of right lower extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0M5V3ZZ

UNSPSC 85671627 Destruction of right lower extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity. The code name describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this code solicit occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve surgical destruction of bursal or ligament tissue. The mismatch suggests either a data tagging error or a categorical misalignment in how the code has been applied to health services solicitations.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara), county probation departments (Harris County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county government (Collier County, Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response due October 16, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a response due October 9, 2026. Given the absence of alignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, pursuit under this code is not recommended without clarification on the underlying procurement classification.
