UNSPSC 85673324: Supplement right elbow bursa and ligament with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right elbow 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 0MU30KZ

UNSPSC 85673324 Supplement right elbow bursa and ligament with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's narrow clinical scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure involving elbow bursa and ligament repair with synthetic tissue—does not align with the actual work being solicited by state and local jurisdictions under this code designation. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in procurement notices or that this code is being applied to broader healthcare service categories in ways that diverge from its clinical definition.

No state and local solicitations in the source material describe procurement of orthopedic surgical procedures, implant materials, or related operative services that would genuinely fall under this code's scope. The opportunities actually posted under this code—spanning Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (Department of Transportation and Ferries), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County)—address healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management rather than surgical supply or operative procedures. Bidders evaluating this code should verify accurate UNSPSC tagging with procurement offices before committing resources, as the current activity does not reflect genuine demand for elbow bursa and ligament supplementation services.
