This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left 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 0MB60ZZ

UNSPSC 85673419 Excision of left wrist bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida—including independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent general healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing services rather than orthopedic surgical procedures or wrist-specific interventions. The mismatch between the code's specificity (a defined surgical approach to a single anatomical site) and the breadth of health services actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a coding error in the taxonomy assignment itself.

State and local procurement under this code does not cluster around a coherent service line. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension applications; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP (due October 7, 2026) for surgical procedure carve-out networks; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System qualified vendors for temporary health professional staffing. No opportunity targets orthopedic surgery, wrist procedures, or surgical intervention specifically. Pursuit under this code is not recommended without clarification of whether the code assignment reflects actual buying intent or a classification artifact.
