This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer right 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 0MX90ZZ

UNSPSC 85672902 Transfer right upper extremity bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code nominally identifying surgical procedure codes, yet state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with orthopedic surgery services. Instead, the recent opportunities posted against this code span correctional healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, mental health peer support, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve upper extremity surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical scope and procurement practice. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county commissions, city purchasing departments, and county health departments. No coherent vendor category, service model, or procurement pattern emerges from the opportunities; they address entirely different healthcare delivery domains with no shared operational or clinical scope.

The geographic spread across recent opportunities includes Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department). Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, due May 15, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering 2,400 employees, due April 9, 2026; and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members, due April 16, 2026. Because the code's nominal scope bears no relationship to the work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing orthopedic or surgical service lines. Clarification of the correct UNSPSC classification is warranted before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
