UNSPSC 85672361: Destruction of left knee bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left knee 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 0M5P4ZZ

UNSPSC 85672361 Destruction of left knee bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities available. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the indexed state and local solicitations use this code to tag services unrelated to the procedure itself—chiefly independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgery networks, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities reflect administrative and management services that support health benefit programs, workers' compensation determinations, and occupational safety, not the delivery or procurement of the surgical procedure the code nominally names. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health departments and consortiums (Collier County, Santa Clara County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and municipal benefits programs (Long Beach). The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure scope and the actual services being solicited suggests either systematic misapplication of this code to health administrative work or that the code index itself is misaligned with state and local procurement practice in this domain.

Recent opportunities cluster in occupational health, pension and disability medical administration, and managed health benefits across California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry employees across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical carve-out benefit and Centers of Excellence network for its PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (RFP 25-8414, historically $8.7 million annually). A county health system is also seeking temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevance to active procurement in these jurisdictions and merits verification against the actual scope of work being bought.
