This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0M594ZZ

UNSPSC 85673140 Destruction of right upper extremity bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that exhibits a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical procedural scope and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent opportunities posted against this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures but instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which align with the specific arthroscopic procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in how opportunities are being tagged or an overly broad application of the code across unrelated medical services procurement. The issuing bodies across the five recent opportunities span city retirement systems, county health systems, state transportation departments, county criminal justice agencies, and municipal employee benefit programs, indicating fragmented demand across different government sectors with no clear repeat buyer pattern.

The geographic activity is scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, with historical annual spending around $8.7 million), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification request for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). No current pursuit activity under this code would be well-grounded in the procedural scope it nominally describes; firms should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before bid preparation.
