UNSPSC 85672311: Extraction of left ankle bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of left ankle bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0MDR4ZZ

UNSPSC 85672311 Extraction of left ankle bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, health plan carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services procurement for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with orthopaedic surgical procedures. This code appears to be a data-taxonomy mismatch in state and local procurement systems rather than a genuine procurement category; the opportunities solicited are administrative, clinical staffing, and benefits-management services, not surgical extractions.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county benefits programs (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). No pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges because the opportunities themselves are functionally unrelated to the code's stated scope. State and local procurement professionals should verify code assignments when evaluating opportunities in this category; the taxonomy signal appears unreliable for sourcing decisions in orthopaedic surgical services.
