UNSPSC 85673412: Extirpation of matter from right wrist bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0MC50ZZ

UNSPSC 85673412 Extirpation of matter from right wrist bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which align with the code's clinical definition. This mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systematic misapplication of this UNSPSC category to health services contracting more broadly.

The Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System, and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department have posted solicitations tagged to this code, representing state agencies, county health systems, and municipal retirement boards across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Recent opportunities include WSDOT's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation and record summary services for public safety pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), and Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program managing Centers of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026). The code itself carries no meaningful signal for orthopedic surgical procedures under state and local contracting; business development professionals should verify coding accuracy before committing resources to this category.
