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 0MNPXZZ

UNSPSC 85671805 Release left knee bursa and ligament, external approach is a Commodity code that maps to surgical orthopedic procedures; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical medical services at all. Instead, the opportunities posted show procurement activity for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or knee procedures. The code assignment appears to be a cataloging mismatch, and the code shows no relevant recent state and local activity for the surgical service its name describes.

The mismatch is stark enough that pursuing opportunities under this code based on orthopedic surgical scope would not align with what state and local issuing bodies are actually buying. Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia, Collier County and Monroe County in Florida, San Mateo County in California, and Santa Monica Fire Department in California have all posted procurements recently, but none involve orthopedic surgical procedures. If your firm provides knee surgery or bursa/ligament release services to state and local health systems, correctional facilities, or employee health plans, monitoring this particular UNSPSC code is unlikely to surface relevant opportunities.
