UNSPSC 85672029: Excision of left knee bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left knee 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 0MBP0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672029 Excision of left knee bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code nominally denoting a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect no alignment with that definition. The six opportunities sourced show state and local governments procuring independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical care for youth in detention — none of which involve the excision of knee bursae or ligaments. The issuing bodies span county health systems, municipal retirement boards, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, and county commissioners' offices, each buying substantially different medical administration and contracting services rather than direct surgical procedures.

The geographic spread of these opportunities covers Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no jurisdictional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to prepare disability medical records and schedule examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring board certification in occupational medicine and baseline and periodic examinations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical and administrative categories. The code shows little relevant activity to the stated procedure and should not be pursued under this UNSPSC designation without clarification from the buying jurisdiction.
