This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 0MB30ZZ

UNSPSC 85673422 Excision of right elbow bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with surgical intervention for elbow pathology. Instead, the opportunities reflect a systematic mislabeling or tagging error, with solicitations actually covering occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and emergency medical services contracting. None of these scopes involve elbow bursa excision or surgical procedures of that type. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems and benefits administrators (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government purchasing offices (Collier County, Harris County), and regional health authorities. These are diverse public sector jurisdictions with varying procurement scales.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, posted September 16, 2026 with a response due date of October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, posted August 25, 2026 with a response due date of October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for a non-exclusive multiple-award pool of temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, posted July 7, 2026 with a response due date of October 7, 2026. The code shows little decision-relevant activity aligned with its nominal scope; the opportunities reflect healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management rather than surgical procedures.
