UNSPSC 85672556: Excision of left thorax bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 0MBG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672556 Excision of left thorax bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code instead reflect independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve excision of thorax bursa or ligaments. The mismatch suggests a coding or tagging error rather than an emerging procurement class. State and local issuing bodies using this code designation include municipal pension boards, city health benefits offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and county benefits consortia; these bodies are sourcing medical administration, occupational health compliance, clinical staffing placement, and pharmacy management services rather than surgical procedures.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations statewide (response due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (response due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement signal and appears unsuitable for business development targeting.
