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 0MBC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672559 Excision of right trunk bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a clinical procedural classification, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not track surgical procedures. Instead, issuing bodies are using the code tag to solicit occupational health services, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical care—none of which align with the code's stated surgical scope. The mismatch signals that this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing medical device supply, surgical instrumentation, or procedure-related contracting. The few opportunities posted under it reflect health plan administration, employee health screening, and clinical staffing vendor qualification rather than the orthopedic surgical work the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health departments (Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Ferries), county juvenile probation (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health consortiums. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations ($750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach's October 7, 2026 RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence; Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals; and Santa Clara County Health System's October 7, 2026 qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories. The code appears misapplied to these health services categories, and business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC family before allocating pursuit resources.
