UNSPSC 85673431: Drainage of right wrist bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right 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 0M950ZZ

UNSPSC 85673431, Drainage of right wrist bursa and ligament, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of state and local government procurement activity in the source records. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under this code encompass occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve drainage of a wrist bursa or ligament. The mismatch indicates either a data classification error or an overly broad assignment of this code to medical services procurement more generally. State and local opportunities actually being bought under this code designation include disability benefit medical record preparation and independent medical examinations, occupational health surveillance for transportation workers, specialty surgical and orthopedic procedure management through Centers of Excellence, and temporary clinical staffing across multiple health professional disciplines.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipal authorities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and regional health systems. Recent activity centers on Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards, disability evaluations), Washington State (ferry worker occupational surveillance, pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, RFP deadline April 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County juvenile detention healthcare, RFI due September 25, 2026), and California (Santa Clara County temporary staffing pool, proposals due October 7, 2026, and Long Beach surgical carve-out program, proposals due October 7, 2026). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum and response deadline of October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance covering 14 ferry locations with two-year initial term and cost-based scoring (40 percent pricing, 60 percent capability), responses due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing with a five-year qualified list, responses due October 7, 2026.
