This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of right 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 0M8N3ZZ

UNSPSC 85672162 Division of right knee bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears to track a specific surgical procedure classification, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted against this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which represent orthopedic knee procedures or surgery billing. The code mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code is used as a catch-all placeholder for health and medical services procurement broadly rather than for the specific procedure it nominally describes.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award). Issuing bodies include state departments, counties, cities, and regional health systems. The lack of procedure-specific procurement under this code suggests it warrants close attention only if your firm competes in one of the broader health services categories actually appearing under it; the nominal code scope does not reflect purchasing reality in state and local markets.
