This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left upper extremity bursa and ligament, open approach.

UNSPSC 85672930 Extirpation of matter from left upper extremity bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's clinical nomenclature—a surgical procedure classification—does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code instead cover occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for retirement disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and inpatient care for detained youth, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve extirpation procedures or orthopedic surgery contracting. The mismatch suggests the code may have been applied in error by issuing bodies, or procurement systems are flagging health services broadly without precision to specific clinical procedures.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state departments, county health systems, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for its PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals statewide (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the code's narrow clinical definition and the breadth of non-surgical health services posted against it, vendors should verify code alignment with individual opportunities before pursuing.
