UNSPSC 85673007: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper bursa and ligament, percutaneous 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 0MPX3KZ

UNSPSC 85673007, Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from upper bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful connection to the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — the percutaneous removal of synthetic tissue grafts from the upper shoulder joint and associated soft tissue — yet the six state and local solicitations tagged with this code over the past three months request independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these opportunities involve the procedure the code names, and the mismatch suggests either systematic classification drift in the sourcing systems or incidental code assignment without semantic verification.

The recent opportunities span state and local health systems, county benefits administration, and transportation agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but they share no operational relationship to orthopedic tissue removal. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) are the most concrete solicitations present, yet both concern occupational health administration and disability benefit evaluation rather than surgical procedure procurement. Given the complete misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual work state and local jurisdictions are tendering under it, this code presents no actionable procurement signal for vendors in surgical services, orthopedic device supply, or operating-room-based interventions.
