UNSPSC 85672751: Extirpation of matter from left thorax bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0MCG4ZZ

UNSPSC 85672751 Extirpation of matter from left thorax bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted against this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve thoracic surgical procedures. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification misapplied to broader healthcare administration and staffing activities.

State and local issuers posting under this code include city pension boards and retirement offices, municipal health benefit administrators, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation systems, county human resources divisions, and county health systems. The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the services actually being bought suggests the code assignment may be erroneous; activity under this code warrants verification against the actual procurement scope before pursuing.
