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 0MQ53ZZ

UNSPSC 85673504 Repair right wrist bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs for public employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures on the wrist. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical procedure description and current procurement activity, indicating either a data-tagging error in the source records or a systematic misclassification issue in how these opportunities have been coded.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems (Santa Clara Health System). No pattern of repeat buyers emerges from the limited opportunity set. Geographic activity is dispersed across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no concentrated regional focus. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of alignment between the code's stated procedure and the opportunities presented, this code warrants skip or watch status pending clarification of its actual scope.
