UNSPSC 85672119: Extraction of left ankle bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of left ankle 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 0MDR3ZZ

UNSPSC 85672119 Extraction of left ankle bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six most recent opportunities posted under this code across state and local jurisdictions—from Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State Ferries, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—are solicitations for independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve the performance of ankle bursa or ligament extraction procedures or procurement of related surgical services or equipment.

State and local procurement bodies do not systematically buy surgical procedures directly through UNSPSC-coded RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs; they typically contract with health systems, hospital networks, or insurance intermediaries to manage access to surgical services under benefit plans or occupational health programs. This code appears to be a data-classification mismatch rather than a signal of genuine market activity. Firms seeking opportunities in state and local medical procurement should monitor codes aligned with health-plan administration, occupational medicine, and facility-based medical services rather than individual surgical procedures.
