This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0MC94ZZ

UNSPSC 85673131 Extirpation of matter from right upper extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that in practice bears minimal relationship to the state and local procurement activity tagged to it. Recent opportunities show no orthopedic surgical procedures being solicited under this code; instead, issuers are posting medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing requests. The code's nominal scope—a highly specific surgical procedure—does not align with what state and local government is actually buying through solicitations carrying this tag, creating a material mismatch between taxonomy and procurement reality.

Recent activity appears sporadic across geographically dispersed jurisdictions with no clear concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) requested proposals for surgical procedure carve-out and Center of Excellence networks for employee health plans, due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services across fourteen ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, due April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across multiple specialties, due October 7, 2026. None of these opportunities involves the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to be a classification error in the underlying procurement data.
