UNSPSC 85673204: Release right wrist bursa and ligament, external 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 0MN5XZZ

UNSPSC 85673204 Release right wrist bursa and ligament, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities indexed under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—orthopedic intervention on the wrist—but the five recent solicitations posted under this classification span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction, none of which involve orthopedic surgery, wrist procedures, or the specific clinical intervention the code names. The mismatch suggests either a data-indexing error in the source system or that this code is being used as a catch-all for healthcare services procurement without precision alignment to the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The recent opportunities do show meaningful activity across state and local health service procurement in Florida, Georgia, and California, with issuing bodies including county boards of commissioners (Collier County, Monroe County, Florida; Muscogee County, Georgia), a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California), and county health agencies (San Mateo County, California). These solicitations are structured as RFPs with response dates ranging from April through October 2026, covering contracts from $580,000 over three years (San Mateo peer support services) to estimated annual spend of $8.7 million (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). However, because none of these opportunities substantively relate to orthopedic procedures or the wrist bursa and ligament release the code nominally describes, the code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing orthopedic or surgical services business.
