UNSPSC 85672060: Destruction of right ankle bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right 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 0M5Q0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672060 Destruction of right ankle bursa and ligament, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 solicit occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve destruction of ankle bursa and ligament as a discrete service or product line. The mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification of these opportunities in the UNSPSC taxonomy or application of the code to administrative and population health services that fall outside its procedural scope.

State and local buyers tagging work to this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The issuing bodies are administrative agencies, counties, and health systems rather than surgical centers or specialty orthopedic providers. No opportunities in the recent block solicit the performance of ankle bursa or ligament destruction procedures themselves. Unless the code is being used to flag administrative medical services tangential to orthopedic care — a practice inconsistent with UNSPSC's commodity-level granularity — this code shows no relevant recent activity for business development targeting state and local surgical or procedural procurement.
