This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of right foot 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 0MDS3ZZ

UNSPSC 85672118 Extraction of right foot bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that reflects a clinical surgical procedure taxonomy entry; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not involve orthopedic surgery procurement or medical device supply. Instead, state and local governments are using this code to classify administrative and occupational health services contracts—independent medical evaluations, disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—that are substantively unrelated to foot bursa extraction. The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure name and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests either a systematic miscoding issue in state and local procurement systems or that this UNSPSC code entry is being repurposed to classify broader health services categories. Issuing bodies range across county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county government human resources and procurement divisions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners).

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southwest and West, with Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington represented. Representative current solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum five-year contract value and October 16, 2026 proposal due date; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with a proposal due date of October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program with proposals due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows no direct procurement activity for surgical supplies, orthopedic implants, or facility-based surgical procedures aligned with its nominal definition.
