This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left lower extremity bursa and ligament with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0MUW47Z

UNSPSC 85671709 Supplement left lower extremity bursa and ligament with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical-procedure classification but shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not match its surgical scope. Instead, the actual solicitations being tagged to this code involve occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic ligament or bursa repair. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation offices (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), city retirement boards and municipal governments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and county commissions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). The tagging appears to be a misalignment between the code's intended surgical scope and the administrative and occupational-health services actually being procured.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Florida, Arizona, and Washington, with the largest recent opportunities including Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services RFP (historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million, contract term January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028 with two optional one-year renewals), the City of Long Beach's surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP due October 7, 2026, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (total maximum contract compensation $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). The code does not reflect active state and local procurement in its nominal specialty — orthopedic surgical procedures — and should likely be bypassed in favor of codes better aligned with the occupational health, health plan administration, and medical staffing services actually moving in these jurisdictions.
