This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left knee 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 0MCP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85672129 Extirpation of matter from left knee bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the work state and local governments are actually buying under the opportunities posted against it. The code name describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve knee bursa or ligament procedures. The mismatch suggests this code is being misapplied in state and local procurement systems, or the tagging reflects administrative data errors rather than genuine commodity categorization.

The recent opportunities showing against this code originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County in Florida, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations, the City of Phoenix's disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), and the City of Long Beach's surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program RFP (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little decision relevance for vendors pursuing state and local health services procurement.
