UNSPSC 85672760: Excision of head and neck bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of head and neck 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 0MB04ZZ

UNSPSC 85672760 Excision of head and neck bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty emergency medical services for youth in custody, and related health administration and staffing work. None of these services involve surgical excision of head and neck structures. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the issuing bodies' tagging or a systematic misalignment between the code's procedural scope and the way jurisdictions are using it in procurement.

The solicitations span multiple issuing bodies—city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems and human resources departments (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employees' benefits programs (Long Beach)—and reflect a mix of notice types including RFP, RFQ, and RFI. Representative recent opportunities include Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP for Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annual spend). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the substantive disconnect between the code's nominal surgical scope and the health-administration and staffing work actually being procured, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement vehicle for firms offering services within its stated procedural definition.
