This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 0MBQ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85672328 Excision of right ankle bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the orthopedic procedure named in the code's taxonomy. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual purchasing activity suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or incomplete alignment between UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices classify health services contracts.

The recent opportunities span multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies, including the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational surveillance), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (medical record review and independent medical evaluations), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks), County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing), and Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), with response dates ranging from September through October 2026. Geographic activity is concentrated in Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. Given the absence of opportunities actually soliciting the orthopedic surgical services the code nominally describes, this code does not represent a viable pursuit target in state and local procurement at present.
