UNSPSC 85672611: Extraction of left thorax bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of left thorax bursa and ligament, percutaneous 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 0MDG3ZZ

UNSPSC 85672611 Extraction of left thorax bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—bears no meaningful connection to the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. Recent solicitations under this code do not procure surgical procedures or medical devices related to thoracic extraction; instead, they solicit administrative health services, benefits management, staffing, and occupational medical surveillance. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have all posted opportunities classified under this code, but none involve the surgical intervention the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement system or a systematic miscoding of health-services categories, rather than genuine demand for the procedure itself.

State and local buyers posting under this code are actually seeking independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations (Phoenix, $750,000 over five years); surgical benefit carve-out administration and Center of Excellence networks (Long Beach); occupational medical surveillance with board-certified occupational physicians across 14 Washington ferry locations (WSDOT, due October 9, 2026); emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County, RFI due September 25, 2026); pharmacy benefit management serving 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending (Collier County, initial three-year term); and temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 categories including radiology, audiology, surgical/OR, and therapy services (Santa Clara Health System, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for the procedure it nominally represents. Firms pursuing opportunities in this category should treat the UNSPSC classification as unreliable and search state and local procurement systems directly by health-services keywords rather than by this code.
