UNSPSC 85673401: Extraction of left hand bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction 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 0MD80ZZ

UNSPSC 85673401 Extraction of left hand bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that the source does not support with relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities in the source record are tagged to this code but plainly address occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks through Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve bursa or ligament extraction. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source data or a category misalignment that renders the code's nominal scope uninformative for procurement forecasting.

The recent opportunities themselves span diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System. Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Response deadlines cluster in early-to-mid October 2026, with the Long Beach surgical carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026, the WSDOT occupational surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, and the Santa Clara temporary health staffing RFP also due October 7, 2026. However, the fundamental disconnect between the code's procedural definition and the work actually being solicited means this code shows little actionable signal for business development targeting specific service lines. Firms pursuing occupational medicine, disability medical record review, PBM services, or temporary clinical staffing should monitor the respective issuing bodies directly rather than rely on this code classification.
