UNSPSC 85672137: Excision of left knee bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0MBP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85672137, Excision of left knee bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code itself. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local systems tagging these opportunities or a substantial divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement practice.

State and local buyers issuing under this code include municipal pension boards, large city health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation authorities, county health consortia, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Buyers show repeated interest in occupational health programs, benefit administration, and clinical staffing across multiple jurisdictions, but the underlying work does not align with the code's stated procedure. Unless the code assignment reflects a data entry practice specific to benefits administration or occupational medicine across state and local health programs, this code is not a reliable filter for procurement activity in this service domain.
