UNSPSC 85673408: Extraction of right shoulder bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of right shoulder 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 0MD10ZZ

UNSPSC 85673408 Extraction of right shoulder bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical extraction services at all. Instead, the opportunities document procurement of occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities align with the code's nominal scope of a shoulder surgical extraction. The mismatch indicates that this code shows little relevant recent activity for the surgical procedure it nominally describes; the opportunities tagged under it represent either data-entry errors or systematic miscoding within individual procurement systems. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local orthopedic surgical services procurement and verify correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities posted under this number.

Given the disconnect between the code's surgical scope and the health-services-administration and staffing activities actually appearing in the recent opportunities, this Commodity code does not present a coherent buying signal for any particular service line under state and local procurement right now.
