UNSPSC 85673126: Reattachment of right upper extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of right upper extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0MM94ZZ

UNSPSC 85673126 Reattachment of right upper extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve the reattachment of ligaments or bursal tissue through percutaneous endoscopic surgery. The source shows no recent state and local solicitations for actual orthopedic surgical services, equipment, or related clinical supplies that would properly fall under this code's intended scope.

The geographic spread of the misaligned opportunities covers Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, reflecting purchasing by diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, and county commissioners' offices. The recent opportunities instead reflect state and local demand for administrative healthcare services, managed care networks, occupational health programs, and staffing support—none of which correspond to the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. This code appears to show a tagging error in the underlying data rather than genuine procurement activity in this commodity category. Firms pursuing actual orthopedic surgical services, instrumentation, or supplies should verify the correct UNSPSC classification rather than relying on this code's recent activity.
