UNSPSC 85672721: Resection of left thorax bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left thorax bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0MTG4ZZ

UNSPSC 85672721 Resection of left thorax bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not match the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a systematic mismatch: they solicit occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-outs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these services involve the thoracic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), counties (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), indicating fragmented procurement activity across state, county, and municipal health and human services functions. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The geographic distribution of recent opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Washington (Washington State Ferries operations across 14 locations), and Texas (Harris County). The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026 represents the only opportunity that approaches occupational or clinical medical services with structured procurement process. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026) and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing (proposals due October 7, 2026) reflect ongoing demand for clinical support services, but neither involves the thoracic surgical resection this commodity code identifies. The mismatch between code scope and actual procurement suggests either systematic classification drift or inconsistent coding practice among issuing bodies in this sector.
