This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement head and neck bursa and ligament with synthetic substitute, open 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 0MU00JZ

UNSPSC 85672519 Supplement head and neck bursa and ligament with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code describing a surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with orthopedic implant supply, surgical equipment, or direct procedure delivery. Instead, the opportunities reflect healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's procedural descriptor and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement databases or that the code has been repurposed within certain jurisdictions' taxonomies to encompass broader healthcare services. State and local buyers using this code include city retirement systems, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health departments, county juvenile probation systems, and public health systems. Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida appear in the recent activity.

Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, proposals due October 16, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, proposals due October 9, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued a multiple-award qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, proposals due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed work volume. Given the code's stated scope and the absence of direct procurement of head-and-neck bursa or ligament implants in the recent record, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors supplying orthopedic surgical materials or devices.
