UNSPSC 85673521: Extraction of left elbow bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of left elbow bursa and ligament, percutaneous 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 0MD43ZZ

UNSPSC 85673521, Extraction of left elbow bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach (Commodity), does not map to the state and local procurement opportunities currently tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations in the dataset—independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance services, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—concern healthcare administration, benefits design, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing rather than the performance or procurement of a discrete elbow surgery. State and local agencies do not appear to be soliciting orthopedic surgical procedures themselves under this code; instead, they are managing health benefit programs, contracting for medical evaluation services, and staffing clinical roles. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health consortiums (Collier County), and regional public health systems (Santa Clara County Health System).

No recent state and local opportunities substantively address the extraction of left elbow bursa and ligament or related orthopedic surgical procedures. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal commodity definition and the healthcare administration and staffing work actually being procured by state and local buyers. Business development professionals should treat this code as having little actionable signal for orthopedic surgery services contracting; the tagging appears to reflect a classification error rather than an active procurement category.
