UNSPSC 85672521: Resection of left thorax bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left thorax bursa and ligament, 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 0MTG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672521 Resection of left thorax bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it solicit medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve thoracic bursa or ligament resection. This mismatch suggests either a taxonomy classification error at the point of posting or that the code is being applied to a broader medical services family than its literal name conveys. The actual work being bought under this code designation spans occupational and disability medical evaluations, center-of-excellence surgery carve-outs, ongoing clinical surveillance, and temporary health staffing placement across multiple specialties.

Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county probation authorities (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county commissioners (Collier County), reflecting fragmentation across municipal and county health administration, employee benefits, and detention healthcare functions. Recent opportunities show activity in Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance covering 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026). The code shows no clear concentration; recent activity reflects categorical fragmentation driven by distinct institutional healthcare missions rather than a unified procurement family.
