This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of right upper extremity 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 0MD93ZZ

UNSPSC 85673015 Extraction of right upper extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure (percutaneous extraction of a right upper extremity bursa and ligament), yet recent solicitations posted under this code by state and local jurisdictions are purchasing occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical care coordination through centers of excellence, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the named surgical procedure. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to these opportunities or state and local procurement systems are using UNSPSC tags that do not correspond to the actual scope of work being purchased.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county human resources and health departments, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile probation departments. No meaningful pattern exists linking the surgical-procedure code to the work actually being procured. Vendors should verify UNSPSC coding directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code, as the current opportunities show no alignment with musculoskeletal surgical extraction services.
