UNSPSC 85673451: Destruction of left wrist bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0M560ZZ

UNSPSC 85673451 Destruction of left wrist bursa and ligament, open approach (Commodity) shows a mismatch between its nominal surgical-procedure coding and the recent state and local activity tagged under it. The code does not reflect actual procurement at the state and local level; recent opportunities solicited under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities align with orthopedic surgical procedures on a specific anatomical site. State and local governments do not procure surgical procedures as commodities through UNSPSC taxonomies; they contract with healthcare providers and benefit managers for administrative and occupational health services.

The recent opportunities reveal activity across diverse issuing bodies—county human resources departments (Collier County, Santa Clara County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employers (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of state ferries), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and county health systems (Santa Clara)—but the code itself appears to be a data-entry error or system artifact rather than an accurate reflection of procurement demand. The code shows no coherent procurement signal and should not be pursued as a category of state and local buying activity.
