UNSPSC 85673405 Extraction of left elbow bursa and ligament, open approach (Commodity) is a surgical procedure code that shows no meaningful recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical intervention; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code are unrelated to surgical procedure codes and do not reflect procurement of this service line. The opportunities instead span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with procurement of a specific surgical procedure performed by a state or local health system or contracted provider.

No state or local jurisdictions are currently soliciting the extraction of left elbow bursa and ligament procedures, open approach, under this code or through any of the recent opportunities in the dataset. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought signals either a tagging error in the underlying procurement records or a code that does not reflect active state and local contracting activity. Firms pursuing orthopedic surgical services, occupational health services, or temporary clinical staffing should verify code alignment independently rather than relying on this code's recent posting history.
