This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reattachment of right wrist 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 0MM50ZZ

UNSPSC 85673368 Reattachment of right wrist bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities solicited under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve wrist bursa or ligament reattachment. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical procedure scope and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this code serves as a generic placeholder for healthcare contracting activity unrelated to orthopedic surgery.

Recent solicitations span multiple states and jurisding bodies, with no clear geographic or issuer concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, valued at up to $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) posted an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody due September 25, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) posted a qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county health systems, retirement boards, and county human resources divisions. Given the clear mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity, vendors should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
