UNSPSC 85671951: Repair left ankle bursa and ligament, open 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 0MQR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85671951 Repair left ankle bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities show no surgical procedures; instead, they cover occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit administration, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the work governments are actually soliciting. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to medical services categories that belong to different UNSPSC families or classes.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county human resources and health departments, municipal retirement boards, county juvenile probation systems, and regional health authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The most recent posted opportunities are a City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at Washington State Ferries across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31); and County of Santa Clara Health System qualification solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between code and scope, pursuit under this code is not recommended without first confirming with the issuing procurement office that the correct UNSPSC classification has been applied.
