This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right 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 0M5F0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672578, Destruction of right thorax bursa and ligament, open approach, is a Commodity code that appears to be assigned to state and local healthcare and benefits administration solicitations without meaningful alignment to its surgical nomenclature. The code shows no recent activity matching its stated scope—destruction of thoracic anatomical structures via surgical procedure. Instead, state and local buyers have tagged the code to cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension and disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, specialty surgery carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the scope of actual procurement activity indicates this code does not reflect genuine state and local purchasing patterns for the named procedure and should not be treated as a reliable market signal.

Recent opportunities under this code have come from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414, responses due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Issuing bodies span county governments, city procurement offices, and regional health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code's current tagging does not reflect genuine procurement demand for the surgical procedure named in its definition, and vendors pursuing state and local contracts should verify code accuracy in each RFP rather than rely on this classification as a market entry signal.
