This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of right foot 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 0M8S0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672050 Division of right foot bursa and ligament, open approach (Commodity) shows a systematic mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the actual state and local procurement activity being tagged under it. Recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local buying under this code does not reflect orthopedic or podiatric surgical procedures. Instead, issuing bodies are state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach) procuring administrative, occupational, and clinical support services that fall outside the code's stated medical taxonomy.

Geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California, with no single jurisdiction appearing as a repeat buyer under this code in the available records. The Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001) on September 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations for public safety personnel, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFQ (RFP20260825) on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026. The Santa Clara County Health System issued a non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) on July 7, 2026 for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code's recent activity suggests misclassification rather than active procurement demand for the foot-bursa surgical procedure it nominally describes.
