UNSPSC 85671741: Destruction of right lower extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic 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 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 0M5V4ZZ

UNSPSC 85671741 Destruction of right lower extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged to it — independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — represent administrative and clinical support services rather than direct procedure delivery. The mismatch suggests either classification error in the opportunity database or institutional practice wherein related administrative and benefit-management functions are grouped under a procedure code. State and local issuers using this code include city retirement boards, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, county health consortiums, and county health systems, reflecting a mix of pension administration, employee benefits, occupational health compliance, youth detention, and clinical staffing procurement.

Representative recent activity shows the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation for disability benefit determinations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for employees and retirees, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026). Additional activity includes Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026, historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity concentrated among mid-to-large county and municipal systems. The code shows little substantive alignment with actual procedure-level orthopedic work and merits review for reclassification or database correction.
