UNSPSC 85671729 Extraction of right lower extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The six state and local opportunities in the source material tagged to this code are actually soliciting occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks for employee health plans, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which constitute or relate to orthopedic surgical extraction procedures. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code is not actively tracked for clinical procedure procurement at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies represented in the sample are diverse: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic representation spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. If the code is being used for state and local procurement, the recent opportunities do not support actual purchasing of the orthopedic surgical service the code nominates. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual scope of work directly in each RFP or RFI rather than relying on the UNSPSC designation.
