UNSPSC 85673421 Excision of 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 posted under it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluation services, and surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs—none of which involve the orthopedic procedure named in the code itself. This mismatch indicates either a tagging error in the source records or that the code has been repurposed as a general-purpose healthcare services category at variance with its nominal scope.

The issuing bodies across the recent records include a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), and municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, California, Texas, Arizona, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's literal definition and the range of healthcare administration and staffing services actually being solicited, this code warrants verification before committing pursuit resources.
