UNSPSC 85672926: Reattachment of right upper extremity bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of 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 0MM90ZZ

UNSPSC 85672926 Reattachment of right upper extremity bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code — independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — span healthcare administration, occupational health screening, employee benefits management, and clinical staffing. None involve orthopedic surgical procedures, reattachment of soft tissue, or the operative techniques the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or a data integrity issue in the taxonomy assignment.

The recent activity shows issuing bodies across city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), and county probation agencies, but the work being solicited does not align with a specific surgical procedure code. No meaningful geographic concentration or repeat-buyer pattern emerges from opportunities that have nothing in common operationally. Pursuit under this code would require clarification from the issuing body on the actual scope of work and the correct UNSPSC assignment, as the code itself does not describe healthcare administration, benefits management, staffing, or occupational health services.
