This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0MBB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85672932 Excision of left upper extremity bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code representing a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local procurement opportunities associated with this code show no alignment with the code's nominal medical procedure scope; instead, the tagged opportunities reflect comprehensive healthcare procurement by county and local health authorities, including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. This mismatch suggests the code is being used as a catch-all for healthcare services procurement rather than for discrete surgical interventions, making it an unreliable indicator of actual buying activity under the code's stated definition.

The issuing bodies include a consolidated city government (Columbus, Georgia) managing county corrections healthcare, county commissioners' boards (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health authority (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical spending near $8.7 million annually (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members with an anticipated award date of June 10, 2026. The code shows minimal genuine relevance to procurement practice; buyers evaluating this category should verify specific UNSPSC alignment with actual healthcare services requirements rather than rely on the nominal surgical-procedure designation.
