This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right 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 0M5N0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672062 Destruction of right knee bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure classification, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with orthopedic surgical work. Instead, the opportunities reflect medical services procurement spanning independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out benefits management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve the specific knee bursa and ligament destruction procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County), county probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners offices (Collier County). This mix reflects broad government healthcare purchasing across administrative, occupational, employee-benefit, and custodial medical contexts rather than a coherent commodity family.

The recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (WSDOT ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000 and proposals due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with a two-year base term and optional five-year extensions, proposals due October 9, 2026; and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows no coherent procurement pattern and appears to be a data-entry or classification error rather than a functional taxonomy node for state and local medical services purchasing.
