UNSPSC 85672107: Repair left hip bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left hip bursa and ligament, percutaneous 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 0MQM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85672107, Repair left hip bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the actual state and local procurements tagged with it. The recent opportunities in the block are medical services and staffing arrangements, not surgical procedures: independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical specialty networks administered through Centers of Excellence, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations are purchasing or reimbursing direct surgical repair services. The code appears to have been assigned to these opportunities in error or through a miscoding artifact, as they span occupational health screening, disability assessment, pharmacy administration, surgical care navigation, and clinical staffing—none of which correspond to the performance of a specific left hip repair.

The issuing bodies span county systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), and municipal health authorities (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The recent opportunities with explicit response dates include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical carve-out benefit management (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's stated procedure and the work actually being solicited, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for state and local buyers seeking orthopedic surgical services, and activity tagged to it should be reviewed for coding accuracy before making pursuit decisions.
