UNSPSC 85672901: Transfer left upper extremity bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer left upper extremity 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 0MXB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672901 Transfer left upper extremity bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal description reflects a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with orthopedic or surgical services. The five most recent opportunities tagged to this code are inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees and dependents, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health peer workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve upper extremity bursa or ligament transfer procedures or surgical care generally. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement databases or a classification breakdown at the source. The code shows limited decision-making utility for vendors pursuing orthopedic or surgical service contracts; activity under this code reflects general healthcare administration and occupational medicine rather than the surgical scope the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies represent a cross-section of state and local health and human services administration: county boards of commissioners procuring healthcare for employees and inmates (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County in Florida; San Mateo County in California), municipal fire departments sourcing medical oversight (Santa Monica Fire Department), and county behavioral health divisions issuing community health contracts (San Mateo County BHRS). Recent opportunities posted between late February and mid-April 2026 include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 dependents with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County RFP for virtual primary and urgent care for 2,300 members (due April 16, 2026), and San Mateo County's $580,000 MHSA peer support pilot (due July 2, 2025). Geographic spread spans Florida, Georgia, and California. Given the code's apparent misalignment with the actual work being solicited, vendors should rely on code-family and segment-level activity rather than this specific commodity code for procurement intelligence.
