This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left shoulder bursa and ligament, open approach.

UNSPSC 85673415 Extirpation of matter from left shoulder bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to be a clinical surgical procedure taxonomy entry with minimal alignment to the state and local procurement opportunities recently posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged with this code encompass occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve the specific orthopedic shoulder procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County), county probation departments (Harris County), and county human resources divisions (Collier County).

The geographic spread across recent opportunities includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit medical record summaries and physician examination coordination with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with a two-year initial term and options to extend; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) with no guaranteed work volume. The code shows no recent relevant activity—the mismatch between the clinical procedure code name and the actual procurement scope suggests the recent opportunities were misclassified or the code itself does not reflect current state and local buying patterns in occupational health, medical benefits administration, or temporary staffing services.
