This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left upper extremity bursa and ligament with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0MUB07Z

UNSPSC 85672909 Supplement left upper extremity bursa and ligament with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures involving autologous tissue grafting to the upper extremity. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code, however, show little alignment with the code's clinical scope. The opportunities span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve orthopedic tissue supplementation or surgical procedures on the upper extremity. The issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, county health systems, city retirement offices, and county probation departments. This code shows significant misalignment between its UNSPSC taxonomy definition and the actual work being solicited under it in the state and local procurement market.

Geographic activity includes Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational health surveillance), California (City of Long Beach surgical carve-out and County of Santa Clara health professional staffing), Arizona (City of Phoenix pension board medical evaluation), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department youth detention medical services). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.). The code does not show meaningful recent procurement activity aligned with its stated orthopedic surgical scope.
