UNSPSC 85673445: Division of left elbow bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of left 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 0M840ZZ

UNSPSC 85673445 Division of left elbow bursa and ligament, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on the elbow, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures or elbow bursa and ligament repair.

The mismatch signals either a data-tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a code misapplication by issuing bodies. Buyers in this space — city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county commissioners — are soliciting health plan administration, occupational health services, and clinical staffing, not procedure-specific surgical codes. State and local procurement does not typically use UNSPSC commodity codes for discrete surgical procedures in the way a hospital billing system would; the activity here reflects third-party administration and staffing contracting. Firms pursuing state and local health and human services contracts should verify code alignment with their RFP targets before submitting responses tagged under this commodity.
