UNSPSC 85673016: Extirpation of matter from left upper extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

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, 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 0MCB3ZZ

UNSPSC 85673016 Extirpation of matter from left upper extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension benefit determinations, specialty surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code's abstract designation. The mismatch indicates either a data classification error or categorical drift in how issuing bodies are tagging health-related services in procurement systems; the code shows no relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope.

The six recent opportunities involve state departments, counties, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, soliciting through RFP and RFI notice types with response dates ranging from September 25, 2026 through April 9, 2026 (a posted date error in the Collier County pharmacy benefit management opportunity). Notable issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office ($750,000 over five years for disability medical record review), the City of Long Beach (surgical center-of-excellence carve-out for approximately 3,800 Anthem PPO enrollees), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering $8.7 million in historical annual pharmacy spending). These opportunities reflect public-sector healthcare administration and occupational health functions rather than the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes.
