UNSPSC 85673413: Extirpation of matter from left elbow bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left elbow 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 0MC40ZZ

UNSPSC 85673413 Extirpation of matter from left elbow bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit management for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the orthopedic surgical intervention the code nominally names. This mismatch indicates either a data-coding error in the source system or that the code has been applied to opportunities for which it is not appropriate. The opportunities that do appear are genuine state and local health services procurements, but they do not reflect the surgical procedure described in the UNSPSC code itself.

The recent opportunities instead show state and local governments—including Phoenix's retirement boards, Long Beach municipal employees, Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—seeking medical evaluation, occupational health, employee benefits management, and temporary staffing services across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Without opportunities that actually reflect elbow bursa and ligament surgery procurement, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms positioned in orthopedic surgical services or related medical device and implant supply chains.
