UNSPSC 85672046: Drainage of left hip bursa and ligament with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left hip bursa and ligament with drainage device, 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 0M9M00Z

UNSPSC 85672046, Drainage of left hip bursa and ligament with drainage device, open approach (Commodity), bears no relation to state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code from the healthcare CPT/clinical taxonomy, not a procurement category for goods or services that public bodies buy.

The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent legitimate state and local healthcare and human services spending (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System) but fall under health services administration, staffing, and benefit management categories, not surgical procedure coding. The mismatch suggests a data classification error in the tagging system rather than actual procurement demand under the Commodity code as named. State and local procurement professionals should disregard this code for business development purposes and reference the underlying service categories—health professional staffing, medical evaluation services, benefits administration—through the correct UNSPSC health and human services families and classes.
