UNSPSC 85673333: Resection of left hand bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left hand bursa and ligament, 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 0MT80ZZ

UNSPSC 85673333 Resection of left hand bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with that clinical descriptor. Instead, the opportunities reflect health benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and emergency medical services for juveniles in custody — none of which involve surgical resection or orthopedic procedures. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in the issuing bodies' procurement systems rather than a meaningful category for business development pursuit.

The six recent opportunities span state health departments, county governments, municipalities, and public health systems across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications ($750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach seeks a surgical carve-out and Centers of Excellence benefit program for city employees (RFP due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI due September 25, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 health professional categories (RFSQ due October 7, 2026); and Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical spending around $8.7 million annually (RFP due April 9, 2026, initially posted August 20). Given the persistent mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity, this UNSPSC category does not represent genuine opportunities for firms in orthopedic surgery or surgical procedure supply.
