UNSPSC 85672134: Excision of right foot bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 0MBS3ZZ

UNSPSC 85672134 Excision of right foot bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this classification across state and local bodies span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the code's stated scope of a particular foot surgical technique. This mismatch suggests either a data quality issue in how opportunities are being tagged to the code or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices are using it.

The issuing bodies in the recent posting window include the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Long Beach, the City of Phoenix, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — a mix of state transportation agencies, cities, counties, and county health systems. None of these solicitations target procurement of surgical procedures or related vendor contracting aligned with the code's description. Given the absence of opportunities actually matching the code's scope, pursuit under this classification would likely prove unproductive without first clarifying how the code is intended to apply in state and local procurement contexts.
