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 0MXF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672502 Transfer right thorax bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with orthopedic or surgical services. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code cover institutional healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care delivery, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve thoracic surgery or ligament transfer. The code appears to be a data classification error in the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities, and this Commodity code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in surgical services or orthopedic care.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual opportunities makes this code unsuitable for business development targeting in the orthopedic or surgical space. Vendors pursuing institutional healthcare contracts—such as correctional facility medical services, county pharmacy management, or virtual care platforms—should verify the correct UNSPSC codes assigned to their target opportunities rather than relying on this Commodity code. The opportunities themselves, spanning Muscogee County Prison comprehensive medical and pharmacy services (RFP due May 15, 2026), Collier County pharmacy benefit management covering 4,800 members with approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending (RFP due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 members (RFP due April 16, 2026), represent meaningful procurement activity in healthcare administration and managed care across Georgia and Florida, but these contracts should be tracked under Family or Class codes specific to managed healthcare services, not under this surgical procedure Commodity code.
