UNSPSC 85673454: Destruction of right elbow bursa and ligament, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0M530ZZ

UNSPSC 85673454, Destruction of right elbow bursa and ligament, open approach, is a Commodity code that bears no relationship to the state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The code itself describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged with this code request independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, specialty medical providers for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the orthopedic procedure the code nominates. The mismatch appears systematic: the code is a clinical classification from a medical taxonomy, not a procurement classification from UNSPSC, and state and local buyers are not soliciting destruction of elbow bursa and ligament procedures as a contractual service line.

The recent opportunities do reflect legitimate state and local health and human services procurement activity across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies, but they are misclassified under this code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance; the City of Long Beach sought surgical benefit carve-out management; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services; Collier County pursued pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool. These opportunities span state departments, counties, cities, and health system authorities across Arizona, Washington, Florida, California, and Texas. Because UNSPSC 85673454 shows no relevant recent activity—the tagged opportunities do not procure the service the code describes—this code presents no meaningful pursuit opportunity for firms in the orthopedic surgical procedure space or related industries.
