This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left wrist bursa and ligament with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 0MU60KZ

UNSPSC 85673315 Supplement left wrist bursa and ligament with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this taxonomy assignment. The recent opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for public employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code appears to have been misapplied to a collection of health services procurement spanning multiple clinical domains and service lines rather than a specific surgical procedure or implant category.

The issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and independent municipal retirement boards. Recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFQ with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing-services qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026 covering thirteen ancillary clinical categories from audiology to surgical services. Geographic spread covers Washington State (Anacortes, Seattle, Tacoma, and 11 other ferry system locations), Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Given the mismatch between code definition and recent procurement activity, this code shows little relevant activity for vendors focused on orthopedic surgical supplies or services.
