UNSPSC 85672923: Release left upper extremity bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0MNB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672923 Release left upper extremity bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure (orthopedic soft-tissue release), yet the most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it solicit healthcare administrative and operational services entirely unrelated to orthopedic surgery—including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being bought suggests either a tagging error in the originating procurement systems or a categorical misalignment in how the code has been applied to healthcare contracting.

No recent opportunities in the source represent work that matches the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. The opportunities posted under this UNSPSC code address hospital administration, correctional health services, employee health benefits, mental health support, and emergency medical services oversight rather than operative or surgical interventions. Prospective vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for healthcare services work before allocating business development resources to opportunities tagged under this code, as the current activity does not indicate an active market for the procedure the code describes.
