UNSPSC 85672161: Division of left knee bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division 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 0M8P3ZZ

UNSPSC 85672161 Division of left knee bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with orthopedic surgical services. Instead, the code is being used to classify occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit administration — none of which involve knee bursa or ligament procedures. This mismatch suggests the code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement of orthopedic surgical services as the code name indicates.

The six recent solicitations attributed to the code span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), disability benefit medical evaluations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), specialty surgery networks and bundled payments (City of Long Beach), youth detention medical services (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary clinical staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). Issuing bodies include state departments, county governments, and municipal retirement and health authorities across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The apparent misclassification of these opportunities under a code nominally tied to orthopedic surgery limits the utility of this code as a procurement signal for vendors pursuing orthopedic surgical contracting with state and local bodies.
