UNSPSC 85671731: Extirpation of matter from right lower extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic 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 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 0MCV4ZZ

UNSPSC 85671731, Extirpation of matter from right lower extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedural taxonomy designation and the state and local government purchasing activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and emergency care for detained youth—none of which correspond to the specific orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local governments do not appear to procure this particular surgical procedure as a commodity or service line; the mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in source records or the code's application as a catch-all placeholder for medical and health services procurement activity without clinical specificity.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal health benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation), and specialized public agencies, reflecting broad geographic spread across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with contract term of two years plus extension options), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with five-year qualification period). The code does not reflect genuine procurement activity matching its nominal scope.
