UNSPSC 85673023: Drainage of right upper extremity bursa and ligament with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right upper extremity bursa and ligament with drainage device, 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 0M9930Z

UNSPSC 85673023 Drainage of right upper extremity bursa and ligament with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, bears no substantive relationship to the work actually being procured under it. The code's clinical procedural title does not align with the medical and health services contracts posted by state and local issuing bodies. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit program management for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these procurements involve orthopedic drainage procedures or bursa and ligament interventions. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error at the source or systematic misclassification of health services contracts at the issuing jurisdictions.

State and local buyers posting under this code span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county human resources and health systems (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the West and Southwest—Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington—though the underlying opportunities do not reflect the code's procedural scope. Given the absence of alignment between the Commodity code's clinical definition and the actual work being solicited, this code presents no actionable procurement signal for firms targeting orthopedic surgical services or bursa-drainage device provision to state and local bodies.
